Georgette Vivier was a Laeralian academic and social and educational reformer who led the shift to embrace humanistic K-12 education in Laeral. During a prolific career spanning the mid-20th century, Vivier advocated for what she referred to as "Humanistic Schooling," aimed at promoting critical thinking as opposed to rote learning in K-12 education, particularly through the use of oral examinations as a tool of learning assessment. Vivier's philosophy is now dominant at the pre-university level in Laeralian education and has seen some adoption abroad, with proponents claiming that Humanistic Schooling produces more capable and innovative thinkers, yet has been criticized by detractors as socially divisive and Arrivée-centric.


Legacy

Georgette Vivier was honored on 1974-1995 printings of the Laeralian 分100 note. The Vivier College of Education at Sun Jia-wei National Open University is named for her, as are six public schools in Laeral and eight private schools abroad offering Laeralian-style schooling.
