About Fernand Oury
- Fernand Oury (18 January 1920 – 19 February 1997) was a pedagogue and creator of institutional pedagogy.
- He recommended and practiced a "school of the people" methodology, in which children were no longer passive receivers, but actively participated in the management of their learning, methods, forms of relations and the everyday life of the class: all of which he called institutions (in the sociological sense).
- Some of the notable elements of this methodology were pupils' council, school funds and individualized curricula.
