Teacher Johannes Käis

Title in Estonian: Õpetaja Johannes Käis

1990 | Documentary, Portrait, Other categories, Commissioned | Director: Peep Puks

Portrait documentary directed by Peep Puks about the life and ideas on education of Johannes Käis, Estonian teacher and head of school innovation in Estonia.

The main principle of Johannes Käis (1885–1950) is that "instead of teaching children that they must know facts, they should learn how to search for knowledge and how to find it, and to grow them intellectually independent people". Käis's works were forbidden to the mid-1960s during the Soviet era and he was accused for propagating bourgeois-nationalist views. The documentary that has been commissioned by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Estonia gives an overview about Johannes Käis's life; his students and relatives share their memories and recollections; educational historians appreciate Käis's valuable life's work.
