The Pedagogical Poem

The author arrives near Poltava to organize a colony for homeless children. He faces a difficult task — to re-educate juvenile offenders. Trying to find an approach to every child, even the most difficult one, Makarenko creates a system based on three principles: labor, play, and the influence of the collective. And he achieves brilliant results.

"The Pedagogical Poem" is one of the most significant works to have passed the objective test of time. A classic that has become a reference book for more than one generation of teachers and educators.
