Chapter V Educational Provision in Wales Part
CHAPTER V EDUCATIONAL PROVISION IN WALES PART (i) : SCHOOLS In medieval Wales it was the Church which assumed the greatest responsibility for schooling, bardic schools and possibly the households of the Welsh lords being also centres of learning. The English universities, and to a lesser extent, the continental universities and the inns of court, provided further or higher 1 education for the ablest talents of Wales. In England, by the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, lay involvement in educati4n increased, as the needs of the Crown, the aristocracy and the towns expanded, and this was also faintly apparent in as scattered and 2 rural a society as Wales. The revival of classical learning emphasised anew the educational qualities required of administrators and all useful members of the state and which were also to be expected of gentlemen. At a time of social change, in Wales as in England, education became a 3 means of asserting and of reinforcing social distinctions. Neither the schools nor the universities were particularly suited 4 to the task of preparing young gentlemen. The newer grammar schools tried tEadapt, and there were a few signs that the universities and the inns of court, though still largely institutions of professional instruction, made some concessions towards providing a more general and 5 popular education. The essential conservatism of these places meant 6 that they were not in the van of intellectual progress. Rather, they were places for disseminating received and accepted truths intermixed with north European humanism and religious ideology, giving force to 333. 7 the ideal of wise and moral service and leadership. -
19 Williams 1502
GLANMOR WILLIAMS Glanmor Williams 1920–2005 IT IS A WELL-KNOWN FACT that adult males born in Wales are the shortest in Britain, and on a good day Glanmor Williams measured just over five feet in his stockinged feet. But physical stature has never mattered to the natives of Dowlais, and this Lilliputian man, by dint of intellectual bril- liance, far-sighted vision and exceptional personal charm, achieved tow- ering eminence in the field of Welsh historical studies. At most gatherings he cut a compelling figure, and he was particularly adept at turning his smallness to advantage. Having famously written in the preface to his first big book that the work had ‘like Topsy, “just growed”’, it amused him thereafter to reproach nature for denying him the same opportunity.1 When he was chairman of the Broadcasting Council for Wales in the late 1960s, he impishly confessed never to have been able to see eye to eye with the impossibly tall Controller of the BBC in Wales, Alun Oldfield-Davies. On another occasion there was much mirth in the Williams household when a reporter described him in the Evening News as a ‘pint-sized but very eloquent professor of history’.2 Few Welsh scholars in the modern era have served their profession, university and country as admirably as this diminutive giant and the flourishing condition of Welsh historical studies during the last half century is in considerable measure attributa- ble to his influence. Yet, in spite of his unrivalled standing as a Welsh his- torian and the weight of honours he accumulated over the years, he remained unspoiled by his academic successes and public achievements, 1 Glanmor Williams, The Welsh Church from Conquest to Reformation (Cardiff, 1962), p. -

Llyfrau sy’n adlewyrchu diwylliant a hunaniaeth Cymru Mae’r adnodd hwn wedi cael ei greu i roi gwybodaeth i ysgolion cynradd am ystod o destunau y gellid eu defnyddio fel rhan o ddarpariaeth ddarllen ysgol i roi mynediad i ddysgwyr at destunau sy’n adlewyrchu eu hunaniaethau, tirluniau a hanes ein cenedl. Mae fframwaith (Cwricwlwm i Gymru) yn adlewyrchu Cymru, ei threftadaeth ddiwylliannol a'i hamrywiaeth, ei hieithoedd a gwerthoedd, hanesion a thraddodiadau ei chymunedau a'i holl bobl. Mae annog dysgwyr i feithrin ymdeimlad o angerdd a balchder yn eu hunain, eu cymunedau a'u gwlad yn ganolog i’r pedwar diben. Dylai dysgwyr gael eu trwytho yn nealltwriaeth o'r hunaniaethau, y tirluniau a’r gwahanol hanes sy'n dod at ei gilydd i ffurfio’u ‘cynefin’. Bydd hyn nid yn unig yn eu galluogi i feithrin ymdeimlad cryf o’u hunaniaeth a’u lles eu hunain, ond hefyd yn eu galluogi i feithrin dealltwriaeth o hunaniaeth pobl eraill a chreu cysylltiadau â phobl, lleoedd a hanes mewn mannau eraill yng Nghymru a ledled y byd. Mae’n bwysig bod yn gynhwysol a thynnu ar brofiadau, safbwyntiau a threftadaeth ddiwylliannol y Gymru gyfoes. Mae bod â hyder yn eu hunaniaeth yn helpu dysgwyr i werthfawrogi’r cyfraniad y gallan nhw ac eraill ei wneud yn eu cymunedau ac i ddatblygu ac archwilio eu hymatebion i faterion lleol, cenedlaethol a byd-eang. ‘Canllawiau Cwricwlwm i Gymru’ tud.30 1 Books that reflect Welsh culture and identity This resource has been created to provide primary schools with information on a range of texts that could be used as part of a school’s reading provision to provide learners with access to texts that reflect the identities, landscape and histories of our nation. -

Using cultural theories such as Anderson’s “Imagined Communities” and Hobsawm and Ranger’s “Imagined Traditions,” this paper pays special attention to the Celtic traditions and myths that Welsh leaders utilized to cultivate a sense of nationalism and foster a political identity that gained prominence in the nineteenth century. This nationalism will also be presented in the context of cultural changes that Wales faced during this time, especially industrialization and Romanticism. -
