| Abstract | For much of Maryland's history, formal education was a privilege, not a right. The notion that statewide public education was a public responsibility came slowly, and the institutional system that developed to provide such an education emerged only after considerable debate and experimentation. Education of the female, black, poor, and orphaned was generally neglected during the colonial period. During and immediately after the Revolution, the free school system changed, but did not markedly improve in Maryland. By the late eighteenth century many county schools had united with or were absorbed by private schools or academies with stronger financial support. Between 1798 and 1821 at least 24 academies were established, many of which received state aid. During the early nineteenth century Marylanders gradually began to perceive the necessity for a uniform system of education for all students. With an act of the General Assembly in 1916, Maryland finally and fully recognized the value of education and the essential role of state and local government in providing public education. Although this legislation has been amended often, it remains today the basic statutory authority for Maryland's educational system. The document includes "Appendix A: The Rise of Maryland Academies, 1778-1867" and "Appendix B: Records Relating to Education at the Maryland State Archives." (BZ) |
