  • An Investigation Into the Claims That Prime Minister James Callaghan's
    Dispelling the myths: An investigation into the claims that Prime Minister James Callaghan’s Ruskin College speech was an epoch marking development in secondary education in general and for pre-vocational education in particular. by KEVIN JOHN JERVIS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Education. The University of Birmingham. Dec 2010. University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The origins and developments of pre-vocational education are traditionally traced back to Prime Minister James Callaghan’s speech on 18th October 1976 at Ruskin College, near Oxford. An assertion of this study is that this is a fallacy, with evidence of the existence of pre-vocational education dating back many years before this date. Further it is contended that Callaghan’s speech was not the catalyst for change in aspects of secondary education that many have suggested. The speech was neither a deliberate attempt by Callaghan to challenge the accepted modus operandi of the educational establishment nor an effort to raise standards. On the contrary, this study will argue that Callaghan’s intervention in education was a conscious attempt to distract the attention of commentators away from the worsening social and economic conditions within the U.K, which Callaghan had inherited from Harold Wilson.

  • Diving In: a Future for Moseley Road Baths
    Diving in: a future for Moseley Road Baths The expert view ‘Nowadays most of us take for granted the facility to wash daily in hot water, to dress in clean laundered clothes, and when we choose to swim, to do so in a hygienic, safe environment (one reason why swimming is now the nation's second most popular form of recreation, after walking). Opened in 1907, Moseley Road Baths is a glowing reminder of how we attained these basic privileges. Courtesy of progressive civic leaders and innovative engineers and architects – not for nothing did the Victorians regard themselves as the new Romans – Britain led the newly industrialised world in terms of public baths provision. In today’s England only around 40 such examples from that era survive, and the number diminishes every year. Of those that do still operate, most have lost many of their original features. Moseley Road Baths, by contrast – the only pre-war public baths that is listed Grade II* and remains in use for swimming – is an extraordinary survivor. Both its opulent exterior and interior are almost completely intact. Its Gala Pool, although closed since 2003, remains one the grandest of its kind ever seen. Also, its slipper baths sections for men and women are by far the largest and best preserved in Britain. Until the 1960s the majority of households didn't have their own baths, so facilities such as these played a key role in people’s weekly routines (my mother’s included). In 1907 it was Birmingham rate payers who footed the bill for this municipal masterpiece.

The city has made tremendous progress over the last twenty years, regularly being hailed as one of Europe’s success stories, with over £10 billion of planned investment in the city centre alone. However, the city has changed dramatically over the last twenty years, especially with the changes to the inner ring road, making the city centre much larger. Both physically and economically new challenges and new opportunities are now on the agenda, and a new masterplan is needed that will help to unleash the tremendous potential of creativity and diversity of what is the youngest city in Europe. Covering the greater city centre, the full 800 hectares out to the ring road, the Big City Plan will shape and revitalise Birmingham’s city centre over the next twenty years - physically, economically, culturally, creatively - and there will be extensive engagement with colleagues, partners, stakeholders and our citizens to help achieve this.
