First published in 1967, The Foundations of Twentieth-Century Education in England examines events and decisions which shaped the development of the educational system during the first half of the twentieth century. Professor Eaglesham goes into the background of the controversial Education Act of 1902, in particular the activities of one of its chief architects, Robert Morant of the Board of Education. He draws on original records and correspondence to tell the inside story of negotiations, but also ranges widely to show the profound effect of the measures taken on the development of the school system and educational administration. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of Education.
