    Maria Montessori's birth anniversary marked by Google doodle

    Maria Montessori's 142nd birth anniversary has become the subject of the latest Google doodle. Maria Montessori was an Italian physician and educator, best known for the philosophy of education which bears her name. Her educational methods are in use today in public and private schools throughout the world.

    The Google doodle itself represents various tools that form an integral part of Montessori education methods.

    Maria Montessori was born on August 31, 1870, in Chiaravalle, Italy. Her family later moved to Rome in 1875, where she was enrolled in a public elementary school when she was 6. Montessori was not a particular brilliant student early on, but that during her teens. She graduated from the technical school Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti at the age of 20 and decided to study medicine further on, which was unheard of for females at the time.

    After completing a pre-qualification course and overcoming a lot of hurdles, Maria Montessori enrolled for the medical program at the University of Rome in 1893. Here troubles didn't end there, as she faced discrimination from fellow students and faculty because of her gender. But Montessori carried on, winning an academic prize in her first year, and later securing a position as a hospital assistant, gaining early clinical experience. In her last two years she studied paediatrics and psychiatry, and worked in the paediatric consulting room and emergency service,

    Maria Montessori Biography

    Maria Montessori was born on the 31st August 1870 in the town of Chiaravalle, Italy. Her father, Alessandro, was an accountant in the civil service, and her mother, Renilde Stoppani, was well educated and had a passion for reading.

    The Montessori family moved to Rome in 1875, and the following year the young Maria enrolled in the local state school on the Via di San Nicolo da Tolentino. As her education progressed, she began to break through the barriers which constrained women’s careers. From 1886 to 1890 she continued her studies at the Regio Instituto Tecnico Leonardo da Vinci, which she entered with the intention of becoming an engineer. This was unusual at the time as most girls who pursued secondary education studied the classics rather than going to technical school.

    Upon her graduation, Montessori’s parents encouraged her to take up a career in teaching, one of the few occupations open to women at the time, but she was determined to enter medical school and become a doctor. Her father opposed this course—medical school was then an all-male preserve—and initially Maria was refused entry by the head of school. She was undeterred, apparently ending the unsuccessful interview with the professor by saying, “I know I shall become a doctor”.



    Eventually, it seems, Pope Leo XIII interceded on her behalf. In 1890 Montessori enrolled at the University of Rome to study physics, maths and natural sciences, receiving her

    Birth and family:
    Maria Tecla Artemesia Montessori was born on August 31, 1870, in Chiaravalle, Italy. Her father, Alessandro Montessori, 33 years old at the time, was an official of the Ministry of Finance working in the local state-run tobacco factory. Her mother, Renilde Stoppani, 25 years old, was well educated for the times and was probably related to Italian geologist and paleontologist Antonio Stoppani.[1]

    1883–1896: Education
    Early education:
    The Montessori family moved to Florence in 1873 and then to Rome in 1875 because of her father's work. Montessori entered a public elementary school at the age of 6 in 1876. Her early school record was 'not particularly noteworthy'[2], although she was awarded certificates for good behavior in the 1st grade and for 'lavori donneschi' the next year.[3]

    Secondary school:
    In 1883[4] or 1884,[5] at the age of 13, Montessori entered a secondary, technical school Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti, where she studied Italian, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, accounting, history, geography, and sciences. She graduated in 1886 with good grades and examinat

    Google Doodles for International Labour Day 2013

    Google sure knows the value of labourers and has decided to honour them on the occasion of International Labour Day celebrated in India today. International Labour Day or International Workers’ Day is celebrated on the 1st of May in many nations of the world. Over 80 countries officially celebrate the day by giving employees or labourers a holiday. There are many countries who also celebrate the day unofficially.
    The day also known as May Day as it is celebrated on the first of May, has an interesting history to it. In 1886, there began a tussle between the police and some workers in what later came to be known as the Haymarket Affair of Chicago. Workers were protesting for an 8-hour workday when the police began dispersing them. In a fit of anger, one of the protestors threw a bomb at the police and the police retaliated by opening fire. Four demonstrators succumbed to the injuries sustained in the firing. 3 years later, in 1889, recognized May Day as an annual event and called for international demonstrations of the 1886 tragedy. The events were soon followed by May Day riots in 1894 in Ohio where due an abnormal increase in unemployment, the public took to protesting against the government for lack of relief measure.

    Workers in many countries strived to introduce the day as a National Holiday. However, there are certain countries which still celebrate International Labour Day on a date different than May 1. In Canada, the first Monday of September is
