Napoleon instituted many educational reforms. He freed education from the influence of the Church and brought it under state control. Napoleon himself appointed teachers in colleges and universities. Education was divided into primary, secondary and higher sections. Religion was separated from education. Stress was laid upon vocational education. Familial discipline and military education was included in the curriculum. Schools were opened to train teachers. Teachers became government employees and began teaching Napoleon’s policies. In this way, Napoleon strengthened his regime through education.
