Schooling and Social Change Since 1760 Summary

Schooling and Social Change Since 1760: Creating Inequalities through Education by Roy Lowe (Institute of Education, University of London, UK)

Schooling and Social Change in England since 1760 offers a powerful critique of the situation of British education today and shows the historical processes that have helped generate the crisis confronting policymakers and practitioners at the present time.

The book identifies the key phases of economic and social change since 1760 and shows how the education system has played a central role in embedding, sustaining and deepening social distinctions in Britain. Covering the whole period since the first industrialization, it gives a detailed account of the development of a deeply divided education system that leads to quite separate lifestyles for those from differing backgrounds. The book develops arguments of inequalities through a much-needed account of the changes in education.

This book will be of great interest for academics, scholars and post-graduate students in the field of history of education and education politics. It will also appeal to administrators, teachers and policy makers, especially those interested in the historical development of schooling.

Schooling and Social Change Since 1760 Reviews

'This book performs the important civic service of showing the ways in which the English education system has worked consistently for over two centuries to sustain and reinforce those inequalities which continue to be such a marked feature of contemporary English society. Clearly written and well-organised, the detailed narrative shows fully how the careful and critical study of education over the long term is such a valuable perspective from which to study British society.'

Simon Szreter, Professor of History and Policy, University of Cambridge.

''An essential guide to the troubling history of educational inequalities in the UK and how they explain our contemporary social problems.''

Gary McCulloch, Brian Simon Professor of History of Education, UCL Institute of Education.
