The Institución Libre de Enseñanza (ILE, English: Free Institution of Education) was a pedagogical experience developed in Spain for more than half a century (1876-1939). It was inspired by the Krausist philosophy introduced at the Central University of Madrid by Julián Sanz del Río, and had an important impact on Spanish intellectual life, as it carried out a fundamental work of renewal in Restoration Spain.The Institución Libre de Enseñanza was founded in 1876 as a reaction to Cánovas del Castillo's policy of restricting academic freedom. The group of professors who had been removed from the Central University for defending academic freedom and refusing to conform their teachings to any official dogma in religious, political or moral matters, came together to offer an educational alternative to the one imposed by the government. Among them were Augusto González de Linares and Laureano Calderón (the first two professors to resign), Gumersindo de Azcárate, Teodoro Sainz Rueda, Nicolás Salmerón, Francisco Giner de los Ríos, and Laureano Figuerola, who would become the Institution's first dean, Consequently, they had to continue their educational work outside the public sector by establishing a secular private educational institution, starting with university level instruction and later extending their activities to primary and secondary education.Intellectuals such as Joaquín Costa, Leopoldo Alas (Clarín), Ramon Perez de Ayala, José Ortega y Gasset, Gregorio Marañón, Ramón Menéndez Pidal, Antonio Machado, Joaquín Sorolla, Augusto González Linares, Santiago Ramón y Cajal and Federico Rubio, supported and backed the pedagogical project. All of them were committed to the educational, cultural and social renewal of the time. Source: Wikipedia (en)
