 The Collège de France
The Collège de France was founded in the interest of higher education by Francis I. He had planned the erection of this college as far back as 1517, but not until 1530, and then under the inspiration of Budé and Jean du Bellay, did he realize his idea.
The Collège de France was first ruled by the Grand Aumônier de France, who appointed the professors until 1661, when it became a part of the University of Paris, from which it was afterwards separated for a time, and finally reaffiliated in 1766.
In 1795 the minister of the interior was in charge; in 1831 the minister of public works; in 1832 the minister of public instruction, who has retained the charge to the present day.

 Minister of National Education (France) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following the various regime changes in France in the first decades of the 19th century, the position changed official status and name a number of times before the position of Minister of Public Instruction was created in 1828.
For much of its history, the position was combined with that of Minister of Public Worship, who dealt with issues related to the Catholic Church, except in instances where the Minister of Public Instruction was a Protestant.
In 1932, the office's title was changed to Minister of National Education, although it was briefly changed back in 1940-1941, and was renamed Minister of Education during the Presidency of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (1974-1981).

Considering public education as "the reciprocal obligation of a society to the citizen and the citizen to the society", Carnot called for free compulsory primary education for both sexes arguing that "we want the state to act as a father towards his children and that it offer education and assistance".

 Jules Ferry Biography
Born in Saint-Dié, in the Vosges département, France, he studied law, and was called to the bar at Paris, but soon went into politics, contributing to various newspapers, particularly to the Temps.
From 1872-1873 he was sent by Adolphe Thiers as minister to Athens, but returned to the chamber as deputy for the Vosges, and became one of the leaders of the republican party.
He reorganized the committee of public education (law of February 27, 1880), and proposed a regulation for the conferring of university degrees, which, though rejected, aroused violent polemics because the 7th article took away from the unauthorized religious orders the right to teach.

In this case, the duly appointed head was the Minister of Public Instruction, on whom the continuing trend toward the exclusive teaching of secular morality in the French education system would rely.
France would have a series of increasingly secular education ministers as the nineteenth century wore on.
The first prominent minister in this time frame, Alfred de Falloux, was described by de Tocqueville as “indispensable” to the Legitimists for his desire to protect the continued teaching of Catholic doctrine in public schools.

Sharing these ideas, the Russian Minister of Public instruction Count Delianov, a few years ago ordered the Professors of Public Law and of Legal History to make their teaching conform to a programme in which Tzarism, the unlimited power of the Russian emperors, was declared to be a truly national institution.
During an interregnum all authority passed into its hands, and it was accordingly empowered to choose the future ruler of the land, and to declare under what conditions he was to be admitted to the exercise of the sovereign power.
The same Douma furnished the chief rulers of the State during the minority of the Tzar, and it was in this way that the power of the Boyars made itself felt among the lower classes of the population, who soon came to look upon them as the chief cause of their misery.

Aristide Briand (1862-1932) served six terms in all as French Prime Minister - 1909-11, 1913, 1915-17, 1921-22, 1925-26, 1929 - and was France's longest serving First World War premier, succeeding Rene Viviani in October 1915.
Appointed Prime Minister in July 1909 Briand caused outrage among his former socialist colleagues by breaking up a railway strike by the simple means of conscripting its leaders into the armed forces.
Nivelle's disastrous Aisne offensive (the Nivelle Offensive) inevitably failed, and the resignation of war minister General Hubert Lyautey over the matter in March 1917 (along with many others he foresaw the failure of the offensive) brought Briand down with him.

The Minister of Public Instruction, M. de Salvandy, hatched the clever scheme of sending Dumas to Algeria to write about that country, with the effect of encouraging emigration and popularizing the French policy.
Dumas was a keen and open-minded observer, and noticed much that (to a Twentieth Century reader well-equipped with hindsight) that suggested that the French colonial venture in North Africa carried the seeds of its own destruction from the outset.
His publishers were suing him for interrupting his serials (he left Stephen Gilbert lying unconscious on the ground in Joseph Balsamo) and questions were being asked in the Assembly about how Dumas could use a French warship as if it was a private yacht..

At the same time I learnt with grief that the manuscript which contained the chronicle of Frodoard was burnt, with so many others, in the fire which, on the 3rd of November, 1731, injured the Cottonian Library while it was deposited at Westminster.
As all the copies of this chronicle which we possess in France begin with the year 919, although originally it contained forty-two years more, as Frodoard began his recital with the year 877, it would have been a matter of great interest to know at what year this manuscript began.
I allude to a Latin chronicle of occurrences in France from 683 to 820 ; and more particularly to a poem in Anglo-Norman verses, of twelve syllables, composed by Jordan Fantome, a trouvère of the twelfth century, on the war which Henry the Younger raised against his father Henry II.

And it was clear that her true vocation was not simply to serve as the director of a salle d’asile; rather, she was interested in teaching children and teaching others to teach children.
Her prominence was underlined by her important role in addressing teachers at the Exposition universelle of 1867, and by her appointment to the position of inspectrice générale des salles d’asile in 1868.
However, she has a rich trove of documents that provide the basis for an analysis of Pape-Carpantier’s public life, and most notably, her writings on the education of children.
