Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book is a study of state education in England and Wales over 60 years ago. Kean looks at the ways in which marxists, socialists, feminists and teacher trade unionists sought to change educational policy and practice. Kean feels that teachers and activists need to learn of the past political failures of the socialist movement - as well as its successes in building oppositional cultural activities - in order to challenge the state in education. She hopes that her account of the fortitude and inventiveness of feminist and socialist teachers and activists will provide some insight for their modern day counterparts.
