The Invention of the Secondary Curriculum (Hardcover)
Series: Secondary Education in a Changing World

Across much of the world there is now a standard secondary school
curriculum based, with variations, on a traditional array of
academic subjects. This book's originality lies in its being the
first work to tell the story of its invention, tracing this from
the sixteenth century until the present day and highlighting its
links, until recent times, with radical protestantism. The central
focus is on British history, but international, not least American,
perspectives also appear throughout. There are two more original
features of the book. Its historical account is supplemented by a
critical commentary on the shifting arguments given across the
centuries for favouring such a curriculum. And the book concludes
with a philosophically-rooted sketch of a more acceptable
alternative: a curriculum based on a well-argued set of fundamental
aims rather than one taking traditional school subjects as its
starting point.
