Education for Sale (Hardcover): Eric Midwinter Education for Sale (Hardcover)
Eric Midwinter
R3,569 Discovery Miles 35 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Teachers, schools and education authorities invariably hide their considerable lights and their public relations techniques are often inadequate for broadcasting the invaluable work accomplished in schools. This book offers clear-cut and highly practical advice for every teacher from pre-school to sixth form on how to get the educational message across to parents. Over the past decades it has become an acute professional concern for teachers to involve parents as closely as possible in the educational process. The book acknowledges that educational salesmanship must be adapted to the cultural norms of its customers and that many teachers, because of their background and training, have reservations about their role as publicists. Set out here is a logical and orderly path of action to help everyone from the most extrovert to the most diffident.

Mutual Aid Universities (Routledge Revivals) (Paperback): Eric Midwinter Mutual Aid Universities (Routledge Revivals) (Paperback)
Eric Midwinter
R751 Discovery Miles 7 510 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

First published in 1984, this collection of essays was the first account of the development of the University of the Third Age in Britain (U3A). Changing employment patterns and increasing pressure on traditional areas of secondary and higher education has led to the idea that learning can be a life-long process. The theories of U3As in Britain, their development under the influence of European models, and the major influences on them are analysed. The authors argue that the consequences of social change and the problems economic, social, political, sexual and racial inequalities that exist are often reinforced by the inequalities in our educational system, and consequently respond to the challenges posed. CA comprehensive title, this book will be useful to any students with an interest in adult and continuing education.

Education and the Community (Hardcover): Eric Midwinter Education and the Community (Hardcover)
Eric Midwinter
R3,419 Discovery Miles 34 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

First published in 1975, this book is the first to set out a blueprint for how schools can move from a 'traditional' to a 'community' base at local authority level. After presenting a historical analysis of the organisational development of the local education authority, it goes on to put forward a detailed proposal for an across-the-board, radically reformed education service at pre-school, school, post-school and college levels. Finally, it locates such a reformed 'community education' system in the context of community development at large.

It calls for radical reforms in the structure of, and attitudes towards, sport.

Lords of Mischief - Dan Leno and Clown Cricket (Paperback): Eric Midwinter Lords of Mischief - Dan Leno and Clown Cricket (Paperback)
Eric Midwinter
R474 R435 Discovery Miles 4 350 Save R39 (8%) Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Several colourful troupes of clowns travelled the nation bringing to huge crowds a jaunty parade, an uproarious cricket match against the local club, much music and dancing, plus an enjoyable concert in the evening. They did so for some twenty years in the Victorian age, visiting hundreds of towns where they were warmly welcomed. Then, in the Edwardian period, the stellar clown Dan Leno recaptured this bright concept for charitable purposes. Unbelievably, this happy marriage of sport and show business has earned only ephemeral mention in the annals of either cricket or music hall and circus: indeed, it might be argued it was sometimes swept under the official carpet by prudish authority. Until now. For the first time ever, and with a magnificent array of dazzling illustration, the full tale of clown cricket is told, with its origins explained and its routines described - with all placed in its social context with reflections on cricket and theatre connections up to the present era. The collaboration has been unique. Members of both the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians and the British Music Hall Society have helped with the research and picture finding. Lords of Mischief fills a gap in the story of both fields in a joyous celebration of this coming together of cricketing and clowning.

R1,391 Discovery Miles 13 910 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

With the rise of the Welfare State, and its current questioning as the chief focus, the book sets out to analyze how the state has responded to the social problems that have beset it. Consideration is given to comparative elements in Europe, North America and elsewhere, together with specific reference to issues of race, ethnicity and gender. A specially prepared glossary completes what is a review and description of the growth and present disposition of the full range of social and public services in Britain.
