  • The Importance of Educational History
    FORUM Volume 51, Number 3, 2009 www.wwwords.co.uk/FORUM Lessons from the Past: the importance of educational history DEREK GILLARD ABSTRACT For the past twenty years, the training of teachers in England has consisted of little more than instruction in ‘delivering’ the National Curriculum. In this piece, Derek Gillard argues that there are now encouraging signs of a resurgence of interest in the history of education. He reviews the new edition of Clyde Chitty’s Education Policy in Britain, which looks at the history of education from a political perspective, and summarises the content of his own website, which is devoted to the history of Education in England. Education Policy in Britain (2nd Edn) CLYDE CHITTY London: Palgrave Macmillan 280 pages, £20.99, ISBN 978-0-230-22278-6 Education in England DEREK GILLARD http://www.dg.dial.pipex.com Voltaire described history as ‘nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes’, and Henry Ford famously said it was ‘more or less bunk’. In education, lip-service has often been paid to history’s importance in the curriculum, but it has endured a rather chequered career. After the Second World War it was often variously treated as part of social studies or integrated studies. Later, as a National Curriculum subject, it suffered interference from a variety of groups with political axes to grind, and more recently it has been effectively relegated to playing a minor part in citizenship education. The history of education itself has fared no better. For the past two decades, student teachers have spent most of their time learning how to ‘deliver’ the National Curriculum.

  • Local Authorities and Comprehensivization in England and Wales, 1944-1974
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery Local authorities and comprehensivization in England and Wales, 1944-1974 Submission to Oxford Review of Education (2002) Theme: ‘A century of local education authorities’ Guest Editor: Roy Lowe, University of Wales, Swansea David Crook History & Philosophy Group Institute of Education, University of London 20 Bedford Way London WC1H 0AL Telephone 020 7612 6546 Fax 020 7612 6555 e-mail [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION During the 1960s and 1970s the Times Educational Supplement (TES) and Education carried detailed reports on a weekly basis about local policy plans, decisions and reactions to comprehensive education proposals. In one important sense the social, economic, demographic and school-specific variables in any given local education authority (LEA) were unique, but at a general level the arguments became familiar. Quotes from those involved in the recent parental campaign to decide the future of Ripon Grammar School reveal the endurance of these arguments, even if Web sites have replaced placards and marches. Supporters of comprehensive education continue to argue that eleven-plus selection procedures are unreliable, take no account of late developers and condemn the majority of children to schools which are, in comparison to the grammars, unsatisfactory. But any future decisions to be taken about England’s 164 remaining grammar schools rest exclusively with parents, while secondary schools themselves now have opportunities, if they wish to pursue them, of developing a specialist (and selective) character. Having entered the twenty-first century only after re-inventing themselves as competitive service-providers, LEAs have lost many of their former powers and much of their influence over secondary education.

  • 'The Middle School Cometh'
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Institute of Education EPrints 'The middle school cometh' . and goeth: Alec Clegg and the rise and fall of the English middle school David Crook Institute of Education, University of London Abstract This article identifies Alec Clegg as the leading figure behind the English middle-school movement from the late 1960s. It is argued that the rise of middle schools was sustained by Clegg's astute understanding, which he transmitted to other local education authorities (LEAs), that the political imperative of comprehensive reorganisation need not necessarily be at odds with the educational interests of 'middle years' children. The article supports the view of Gosden and Sharp (1978) that the middle-school model 'was probably the West Riding's single greatest contribution to national education in the post-war period'. Introduction In early 1967 Alec Clegg, Chief Education Officer (CEO) for the West Riding, contributed an article to the Teacher, the weekly journal of the National Union of Teachers, entitled 'The middle school cometh'. The piece subsequently reached a wider audience in a symposium volume which saw head teachers and chief education officers present both sides of the argument (Clegg et al, 1967). Clegg set out a clear position: the three-tier reorganisation of local schooling presented an opportunity for LEAs to constructively respond 1 to the Labour government's Circular 10/65, which had requested them to draw up and submit plans for comprehensive education, and to abolish 11-plus selection without becoming wrangled in bitter disputes about the destruction of grammar schools.

Primary has most of the time been subordinate to secondary. I identify the varying problems this durable inequality was used to address and the different meanings the distinction has accrued. In 1870 government sought to protect existing social stratification by distinguishing parallel and unequal systems of education – elementary and secondary.

The leadership of new Labour has used its enhanced autonomy to move closer to the Conservative Party on a number of key education and training policies. The thesis uses manifesto and documentary analysis to illustrate policy movement, and interview evidence with policy actors past and present to trace the changing relationship between the party and the policy community. The thesis concludes that new Labour can best be understood as a synthesis of three elements; changing policymaking practices since the 1980s; the intellectual acceptance of globalisation, flexibility and market forces, which can be dated from the 1987- 1989 policy review; and moral authoritarianism, introduced since the accession of Tony Blair to the leadership and the appointment of David Blunkett as shadow education spokesperson in 1994.
