Question

Napoleon upheld Enlightenment and Revolutionary ideals in education by

providing public education for middle- and lower-class students.
allowing girls the same access to education as boys.
allowing wealthy children to attend school.
financing university educations for all students.

Answer 1

providing public education for middle- and lower-class students.

Explanation: Napoleon established state-controlled schools (lycées, École polytechnique, and the University of France) that promoted merit-based advancement and opened opportunities to talented students of non-aristocratic backgrounds. He did not give girls equal access, nor provide universal university funding, and his system also served elites, not only the wealthy.
