Johann Amos Comenius (also known as Jan Amos Komensky) was a 17th-century Moravian philosopher, educator, and theologian. He is often referred to as the father of modern education due to his significant contributions to educational theory and practice. Comenius wrote books on education, including "The Great Didactic" and "Orbis Sensualium Pictus" (The Visible World in Pictures), which was one of the earliest and most widely used textbooks for teaching children.
