Doctor, teacher, author and school administrator
|
Alexandre-René Pignier (15 November 1785 – 8 February 1874) was a French school administrator and author. He was director of the Institution Royale des Jeunes Aveugles (today the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles) in Paris between 1821 and 1840. His years as director were so consequential that he is known as the "second founder" of the institute. He introduced many improvements at the school and mentored Louis Braille, supporting his efforts to develop a new form of raised-point writing. He also wrote the first biography of Braille, as well as a history of the school.
