“Whom was Benito Mussolini’s education advisor that determined that fascism starts in the classroom?”

The education advisor (and key figure) who shaped Benito Mussolini’s fascist education policies—effectively determining that fascism must start in the classroom through indoctrination of youth—was Giovanni Gentile.
Gentile, a philosopher often called the “philosopher of fascism” by Mussolini himself, served as Mussolini’s Minister of Public Education from late 1922 to 1924. In that role, he implemented the Gentile Reform (Riforma Gentile) of 1923, which Mussolini described as the “most Fascist reform.” This sweeping overhaul restructured Italy’s school system to prioritize fascist ideals: emphasizing nationalism, discipline, loyalty to the state over individualism, mandatory religious (Catholic) instruction in elementary levels to align with fascist values, and a curriculum designed to mold a new elite generation supportive of the regime. The reform centralized control, glorified the state, reduced access to certain fields for broader masses, and explicitly aimed to indoctrinate youth so that fascist principles would permeate society from an early age.
While no verbatim quote from Gentile (or Mussolini) states “fascism starts in the classroom” in those exact words, the sentiment directly aligns with fascist policy and rhetoric. Mussolini himself reinforced this in speeches, such as his 1925 address demanding that schools be “inspired by the ideals of Fascism” at all levels, ensuring youth be educated to “comprehend Fascism” and its aims—making education the foundational tool for building the fascist state. Gentile’s reforms and writings (including his contributions to “The Doctrine of Fascism”) provided the intellectual and structural basis for viewing the classroom as the starting point for fascist indoctrination and societal transformation.
Later ministers like Giuseppe Bottai (who issued the 1939 School Charter) built on this, but Gentile was the primary architect under Mussolini who “determined” this approach in the regime’s early, formative years.
