ENGLISH EDUCATION IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
11063. ENGLISH EDUCATION IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. This paper provides an examination of the developments in British education during the 19th Century which culminated in the Education Act of 1870, the law first establishing state funding of secular elementary schools on a national basis, with universal and compulsory education for all children. The focus of the study is on elementary education and on the conflicts and contributions of the various existing systems -- voluntarism, private fee schools, public schools, Anglican and Dissenting schools, and Sunday Schools -- to the ultimate solution reached in the 1870 Act. Argues that the system of universal compulsory popular education in England was the product of a combination of social and political influences and movements, including the reforms of the franchise and the poor laws, Chartism and secularism, rather than a brave new state-imposed, centralist creation marking an expanded government role in private life. Demonstrates that the institution of universal education was part and parcel of the wider movement toward universal manhood suffrage, reform of the workhouses and almshouses operated under the Poor Law, and the institution of labor laws and guarantees of basic civil rights that took place in the so-called Reform Era.
