Women's and Girls' Education 397 JOURNALS USED 409 AUTHOR INDEX 419 SUBJECT INDEX 439 9 \ Series Editor's Foreword This series of reference works and monographs in education in selected nations and regions is designed to provide a resource to scholars, students, and a variety of other professionals who need to understand the place of education in a particular society or region. While the format of the volumes is often similar, the authors have had the flexibility to adjust the common outline to reflect the uniqueness of their particular nation or region. Contributors to this series are scholars who have devoted their professional lives to studying the nation or region about which they write. Without exception they have not only studied the educational system in question, but they have lived and travelled widely in the society in which it is embedded. In short, they are exceptionally knowledgeable about their subject. In our increasingly interdependent world, itis now widely understood that it is a matter of survival that we understand better what makes other societies tick. As the late George Z.F. Bereday wrote: "First, education is a mirror held against the face of a people. Nations may put on blusteling shows of strength to conceal public weakness, erect grand façades to conceal shabby backyards, and profess peace while secretly arming for conquest, but how they take care of their children tells unerringly who theyare" (Comparative Method in Education,New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1964, page 5). Perhaps equally important, however, is the valuable paspective that studying another education system provides us in understanding our own. To step outside of our commonly held assumptions about schools ix 10 t- Series Editor's Foreword and learning, however briefly, and to look back at our system in contrast to another, places it in a very different light. To learn, for example, how the Soviet Union handles the education of a multilingual society; how the French provide for the funding of public education; or how the Japanese control admissions into their uninibities enables us to understand that there arc alternatives to our familiar way of doing things. Not that we can often "borrow" from other societies; indeed, educaticnal arrangements arc inevitably a reflection of deeply rooted political, economic, and cultural factors that arc unique to a society. But a conscious recognition that there arc other ways uf doing things can serve to open our minds and provoke our imaginations in ways that can result in new approaches that we would not have otherwise considered. Since this series is designed to be a useful research tool, the editors and contributors welcome suggestions for future volumes as well as ways in which this series can be improved. Edward R. Beauchamp University of Hawaii 1 1 Preface The state school system of England and Wales is in the throesof far- reaching school reform. Its school reform is, in fact, as revolutionary as any undertaken by a Western nation at the end ofthe twentieth century. This work was begun just before passage of the Education Reform Act of 1988 (ERA 88), which is being implemented in the 1990s.This major act along with still-in-force provisions of the 1944 Education Act (with its 17 amendments) comprises the statutes governing educationin England and Wales. ERA 88 is the outcome of many years ofdebate, contention, and changing attitudes about education. This study reflects both the criticism and the praise showered on that important legislation, particularly in the Brief History and School Structure sections, and in Chapter 1 with its longer than usual annotations on ERA 88. It is interesting to recall that the industrial revolution began in Britain, that it was the modern world's first business society, and that at its height Briiain was responsible for hundreds of millions of people living on over one-fifth of the earth. Whether or not and to what degree ERA 88 can help significartly to advance Britain's industrial and cultural leadership is yet to be seen. The large effort through ERA 88 to improve education comes at a time of rising European Community expectations and of rapid Eastern European moves toward democracy and market economies.

  • Socio-Economic Factors and the Schooling of Working-Class Children Aged Seven and Under in Seven Areas of North London
    !IV -i- SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS AND THE SCHOOLING OF WORKING-CLASS CHILDREN AGED SEVEN AND UNDER IN SEVEN AREAS OF NORM LONDON, 1800-1851 NAIMA BROWNE Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Faculty of Education, University of London Institute of Education. 1990 ABSTRACT In the 1850s publicly-aided schools for infants co-existed with private working-class schools, some of which also catered for very young children. During the first half of the nineteenth century parents of infant-aged children could decide whether or not to send their child to school; if they opted for schooling they might then have had to make decisions about the type of school to use. This investigation set out to establish whether working-class parents' decisions regarding the schooling of their very young children were influenced by a range of socio-economic factors, and whether parents with certain life-styles were more favourably disposed towards the public infant schools than towards the much maligned private working-class schools. This investigation examined the school attendance of infants in relation to a range of socio-economic factors, which included parental occupation, whether or not the mother was at work, the employment and schooling patterns of older children in the family, the parents' religion and country of birth, the size of the family and the ages of the children concerned. The autonomy and independence of members of the working-class was acknowledged throughout the study by emphasising the parents' role in determining the pattern of their children's education. Seven small areas of North London were chosen for in-depth analysis.

  • Children, Education, and the British Empire, 1899-1950
    Savages or Citizens? Children, Education, and the British Empire, 1899-1950 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Rachel Ann Neiwert IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Anna Clark August 2009 © Rachel Ann Neiwert, August 2009 i Acknowledgments I first encountered Charlotte Mason when I was teaching at Intown Community School in Atlanta, Georgia. I am thankful that Intown was a school that valued books and learning and demonstrated those values by giving each teacher a complete set of Charlotte Mason’s books on education. I had no idea that those garishly pink books that sat on my bookshelf would turn out to be the genesis of this dissertation. Special thanks go to Lisa Cadora who nurtured my interest in Mason during my years of teaching there. I have been incredibly fortunate to have wonderful teachers, who encouraged me along the way, including Caitlin Corning and Kerry Irish at George Fox University and Denise Davidson and Ian Christopher Fletcher at Georgia State University. For pointing me in the direction of the University of Minnesota and Anna Clark, Ian Fletcher deserves particular thanks. When he told me he thought I would get along well with Anna, he was certainly right! I have not lacked for wonderful teachers here at the University of Minnesota. Seminars with Andy Elfenbein, Patricia Lorcin, MJ Maynes, and Gloria Raheja gave me space to try out ideas that became the chapters in this dissertation. Hopefully the work here is better for their interest and comments.

  • Exploring the Changing Dynamics of Social Class Educational Inequality Throughout the History of State Education in England: an Analysis of Four Policy Documents
    Exploring the changing dynamics of social class educational inequality throughout the history of state education in England: an analysis of four policy documents Ross Goldstone University of Cardiff, Cardiff, Wales, UK Abstract This article contributes a historically reflective critical exploration of the relationship between English state education and social class. In analysing selected historically significant policy documents, the article provides insights into the changing dynamics of social class educational inequality in England. Specifically, how across the life course of English education social class has been ‘washed out’ or ‘erased’ from policy documentation and either transmuted into different, sometimes unrelated, ideas or ignored altogether. Firstly, an introduction is locates the contemporary significance of social class to education in England. Thereafter, a section contextualises the history of education in England before the policy documents are analysed. These are: Report of the Schools Inquiry Commission (1868), Report of the Royal Commission on Secondary Education (1895), Secondary Education (1938), and Better Schools (1985). All four documents were not only written at times of policy significance and informed significant government policy but represent important trends in their own right. Through analysing these documents, it is clear how the presence of social class in official policy documents transitioned from unproblematically stated to ignored and ‘washed out’. In the final section, this pattern observed is assessed through broader dynamics taking place throughout the twentieth century. What is argued is that although social class was increasingly erased from 114 | P a g e Exploring the changing dynamics of social class educational inequality throughout the history of state education education policy documentation the significance of it remained but was henceforth misrecognised and hidden.

Anglo- American nuclear relations were dependent on a strong level of trust between the two governments. The deception employed by President Reagan’s government in concealing American intentions concerning Grenada from the British government broke that trust.

  • Study of the English Higher Education Regional Associations
    Annex 1 Terms of reference Background In order to satisfy accountability for public funding, HEFCE is reviewing various strands of special initiative funding (which includes its funding for the Higher Education Regional Associations - HERAs). As all HERAs have now been established for at least 5 years, this review seemed timely. It was agreed that a study involving partners would be more productive as it should allow greater scope to look at the ways in which the HERA role has developed, and continues to develop, as well as providing stakeholders with an opportunity to input into the process. Aim In particular, the study should provide HEFCE with an understanding of the current role and contribution of HERAs, as well as clarification of and recommendations on their future role. It is also important that the study recognises the role that HEFCE and regional stakeholders must play in engaging with and supporting them over the coming years. The outcomes of the study are expected to be of value to HERAs and their stakeholders and partners. Process HEFCE appointed Alan Brickwood Associates to undertake this study, who will conduct a number of face-to-face meetings with the HERAs and stakeholders, focusing on the questions outlined below. HEFCE will invite comments from the HERA Chief Executives on the final draft of the report. To help guide this process, HEFCE established a HERA study steering group made up of a number of representatives including HERAs, Universities UK, Standing Conference Of Principals, Regional Development Agencies, HERAs, Government Offices and the Association of Colleges. The purpose of the group is to advise on the scope of the study and findings but also to provide the consultants with a forum to discuss any issues arising as a result of the study.

  • Curriculum Development in the General Secondary School
    CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT IN THE GENERAL SECONDARY SCHOOL IN EGYPT SINCE 1952, WITH. COMPARATIVE REFERENCE TO THE SECONDARY SCHOOL IN AMERICA AND THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL IN ENGLAND By Ali Ahmed All Madkour Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London, Institute of Education 1979 Department of Comparative Education - 2 - ABSTRACT CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT IN THE GENERAL SECONDARY SCHOOL IN EGYPT SINCE 1952, WITH COMPARATIVE REFERENCE TO THE SECONDARY SCHOOL IN AMERICA AND THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL IN ENGLAND This study attempts to analyse curriculum development in the general secondary school in Egypt in its relation to the social, economic and political changes that have taken place since 1952. To accomplish this, an analysis of secondary school curricula in two other countries, namely America and England, which have been faced somewhat earlier than Egypt with some of Egypt's current problems, is carried out. Thus in their relation to the social, economic and political changes, the secondary school curricula in the three countries are judged. In addition, in order to understand the nature of these curricula and to characterise changes that have taken place over the period being examined, the major curriculum theories which have dominated educational practices in the world, are identified. Various socio-economic and political changes are associated with the process of modernisation and domecratisation. The effect of this kind of change on secondary school curricula in the three countries takes two forms; first, the need for schools to supply the labour market with skilled manpower flexible and adaptive to the rapidly changing needs of society; second, the need for curricula to provide opportunities for young people to learn the skills needed for making democratic decisions and for participating actively in their society's affairs.
