This work provides an overall review and analysis of the history of
education and of its key research priorities in the British
context. It investigates the extent to which education has
contributed historically to social change in Britain, how it has
itself been moulded by society, and the needs and opportunities
that remain for further research in this general area. Contributors
review the strengths and limitations of the historical literature
on social change in British education over the past forty years,
ascertain what this literature tells us about the relationship
between education and social change, and map areas and themes for
future historical research. They consider both formal and informal
education, different levels and stages of the education system, the
process and experience of education, and regional and national
perspectives. They also engage with broader discussions about
theory and methodology. The collection covers a large amount of
historical territory, from the sixteenth century to the present,
including the emergence of the learned professions, the
relationship between society and the economy, the role of higher
technological education, the historical experiences of Ireland,
Scotland and Wales, the social significance of teaching and
learning, and the importance of social class, gender, ethnicity,
and disability. It involves personal biography no less than broad
national and international movements in its considerations. This
book will be a major contribution to research as well as a general
resource in the history and historiography of education in Britain.
