The Expansion of Primary Education, 1870-1940: Trends and Issues.

Benavot, Aaron; Riddle, Phyllis

Sociology of Education, v61 n3 p191-210 Jul 1988

Analyzes new estimates of elementary education enrollment rates for 126 nations and colonies from 1870-1940. States that the expansion of elementary education was more uneven, tentative, and varied in this period, suggesting that social, economic, political, and religious conditions greatly affected the extension of schooling before World War II.
