John Amos Comenius was a Moravian philosopher, pedagogue, and theologian recognized as the father of modern education. He promoted universal education and introduced pioneering educational ideas such as pictorial textbooks in native languages, gradual concept development, lifelong learning, equal opportunities for underprivileged children, education for women, and practical instruction. Comenius emphasized the relationship between nature, religion, and knowledge, prioritizing logical thinking over rote memorization. He provided guidance to governments and established schools throughout Protestant Europe.
