From the cover: This account of educational development from the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution to the present day surveys the building-up of the administrative structure of the educational system, the growth of educational theory and practice, the evolution of institutions such as schools, colleges and universities, the work of individual teachers and educationists, and the progress of curriculum change and in teaching techniques, all of which are seen against the background of the social and economic conditions from which they are inseparable. Clearly and precisely written, and including many references to enable general statements to be followed up by the reader, this book has proved its value to teachers and teachers in training, to education officials, and to all interested in the interpretation of the present educational situation in its historical context.
