Table of content
📌 Main Idea: Mussolini wanted to indoctrinate Italy's youth with Fascist ideals, both in school and during their leisure time.
🌟 Fun Fact: Think of it like someone trying to get you to support their favorite soccer team by making you wear the team's jersey, attend all the games, and listen to songs praising the team every day.
Education & Curriculum 📚
- Goals: Mussolini wanted a pro-Fascist, athletic, strong, and disciplined youth. It's like wanting every kid to be the captain of the school football team but for Fascism!
- 1923 School Reforms
- Initially conservative.
- Rigorous exams in elite schools.
- Fascism in Curriculum
- Radical Fascists wanted a strong Fascist education program.
- Teachers viewed as anti-Fascist were dismissed in 1925.
- By 1929, teachers had to pledge loyalty to Mussolini, called the "Duce."
- Fascist Teachers Association
- Started in 1931.
- Membership became mandatory in 1937.
- Cult of Personality
- Schools celebrated Mussolini's achievements.
- His portrait was hung next to the King's.
- Emphasis on blind obedience: like following your favorite influencer without questioning!
- Textbooks
- Focused on ‘Italian greatness’ and nationalism, especially in history.
- Unpatriotic books banned.
- Only one approved textbook by 1936.
Outside of School - Leisure & Groups 🎯
- Opera Nazionale Balilla (ONB)
- Started in 1926.
- Organized youth groups & activities focused on Fascist ideology.
- Membership became mandatory in 1930s.
- Real-world Example: Imagine if joining a certain club at school was not just cool, but also compulsory!
- Numbers: Had 7 million members by 1937!
- Activities
- Boys: Prepared for war - military and sports training, parades.
- Girls: Prepared for domestic roles - sewing, cooking, childcare.
- University Level - Gruppi Universitari Fascisti (GUF)
- For older students, aimed to create a Fascist elite.
