General Education is an advance in Napoleonic Europe, a scenario in Civilization III: Conquests.
Civilopedia entry[]
A good educational system was very important to Napoleon. Prior to the French Revolution, the school systems of Europe (and of France in particular) could be seen as desperately lacking. Poor schools, poorly trained teachers, lack of discipline... all of these traits defined the educational system that Napoleon inherited from his predecessors. Shortly after his ascendancy to the throne, the Little Emperor moved to improve the education in France. If France were to rise out of its Revolution and become the greatest European power, its citizenry needed knowledge.
