The correct answer is C. Build schools and universities accesible to the middle class.

Promoting education was a revolutionary principle and in his regime Napoleon tried to create a centralised system. Napoleon said: "Public education should be the first object of this government". On May 1, 1802, a decree established a new system of education. Elementary schools became responsability of local municipalities. Although church schools would share some control over elementary education, since this reform, lycees or schools where in charge of the administration of the learning programs in France. Before, education was in charge of the catholic church, thus preventing middle class citizens from receiving a good instruction. The system had two clear intentons: to train an elite class and to provide instruction for a enlarged middle-class. This was the base for the future leaders, bureaucrats and militaries. At a meeting in 1807, Napoleon declared: "Of all our institutions public education is the most important". In 1808, the Imperial University was given the power to control private schools. The state took control over the educational system, evaluating teachers, monitoring the functioning of schools and improving curriculum issues.
