Freinet Modern School Movement

The Modern School Movement (French: Mouvement de l'École Moderne) is the community of teachers who follow the educational and social practices of Célestin Freinet, his wife Élise and their successors.

After his death, ICEM has moved away from the ideas of Freinet, with multiple influences.

The Secular Education Cooperative (CEL) was founded in 1928 to produce teaching materials for those who practiced Freinet's pedagogy, and magazines and brochures for the Movement.

It was taken over by teachers of the movement in 1986, after financial problems, and became the limited liability company French Modern School Publications (PEMF).

This publishing house later moved away from publishing exclusively manuscripts for Freinet teachers, embracing the full range of education journals such as The New Educator or Library of work [fr].
