Product Description

Review

'This book is well worth publishing Richard Aldrich is an eminent historian It would be likely to get onto a number of reading lists.'- Professor Roy Lowe, Swansea and Routledge author 'I think this would be a potentially useful text which I would be interested to use. As a text it might well be an essential buy for a class on the recent history of education.'- Dr Gary McCulloch, University of Sheffield 'He has excellent credentials and his choice of contributors is more than sound all have made significant contributions to our understanding of education's moving panorama- a positive and durable book.'- Philip Taylor, Emeritus Professor, University of Birmingham, UK


Product Description

Education is "a country's biggest business" and the most important shared experience of those who live in it. A Century of Education provides an accessible, authoritative and fascinating overview of the role and nature of education in the twentieth century. Eminent historian of education, Professor Richard Aldrich has assembled a team of contributors, all noted experts in their respective fields, to review the successes and failures of education in the last century and to look forward to the next. A succinct overview of twentieth century social, economic, political and intellectual developments in the first chapter is followed by chapters on ten key topics. Each chapter has four sections: a review of the educational situation in 2000; a similar assessment in 1900; changes and continuities throughout the century; and a conclusion reviewing the lessons for today and tomorrow. This is a work of information, interpretation and reference, which demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of education during the twentieth century and identifies educational priorities for the twenty first. For anyone interested in what has become the most important Issue of our time, this unique book is set to become a classic text.
