The 1944 Education Act was a crucial piece of British legislation - one of the most important this century. It was passed against a background of war and growing popular demand for social reform. It provided a framework for the education service which remained largely intact for almost fifty years. Since 1988, however, with the introduction of a National Curriculum and competition between schools, the workings of the Act have been largely dismantled. In The Making of the 1944 Education Act, Michael Barber presents a lively evaluation of the Act - its background, passage and effect - fifty years after it was introduced. He looks briefly at the frustrated attempts at reform between the wars and how the upheaval of World War II created the right conditions for successful legislation. The book then follows the passage of reform and quotes liberally from contemporary sources such as the Times Educational Supplement and Hansard to illustrate its narrative. It is a fascinating history of educational policy, and of British culture and politics towards the end of the war.

This book presents a clear overview of the debates that surrounded the making of the 1944 Act, which affected every aspect of education in this country. It gives a detailed account of the tripartite divisions into 'three types of child' that were sanctioned in the reforms of the 1940s. At the same time, it also emphasises the idea of education as a civic project which underlay the reforms and which was such an important part of their lasting authority. The education policies of the past decade and the current attempts to shape a new education settlement need to be interpreted in a long-term historical framework and in particular, in relation to the aims and problems of the last great cycle of reform in the 1940s. This book makes an important contribution to the development of such a framework and the social history of education policy in this country.

Richard Austen Butler, President of the Board of Education, 1941-1945, and his intellectual colleagues in England built an educational philosophy based on cultural traditions synthesized with progressive educational trends. Here, this philosophy is identified as Christian-civic humanism. Legislation resulting from this educational philosophy, the 1944 Education Act, mandated religious education (RE) for cultural cohesion and promoted a diversified secondary and further education system to bolster English commonweal in an era of flux. Historians' analyses of the 1944 Act as a piece of post-war social legislation have overwhelmed its significance as an artifact of intellectual and educational idealism. Nonetheless, focus on the Act's relationship to egalitarian "secondary education for all," and secularized education has become increasingly passé. Revisionist analyses allow reconsideration of links between education and state welfare in terms of broader historical meanings. The educational philosophy of Christian-civic humanism was uncovered using revisionist-minded archival research that examined educational philosophy by Butler and his colleagues outside of traditional Board of Education sources and interpretations. This methodology broaden research and analysis of English history of education to include speeches, essays, and textbooks on more broadly-defined educational issues found in libraries and archives inside and outside of English history of education archives. Christian-civic humanism as thesis adds to the history of education, as well as English history writ large, to move beyond stalemates in English educational politics - impasses linked in part to over-reliance on Marxist and secular explanations of the history of education. Incomplete analyses of "secondary education for all" and the meaning of religious education have led to misunderstandings between educationalists and politicians, and consigned progressive-minded, yet conservative and Christian, educationalists to the "dustbin of history." Given the continued stalemates in English education over the meaning of "secondary education for all," as well as the [re-]emergence of debates about British identity linked to religion, these issues demand revision. The resulting analysis provides a dispassionate, rather than politicized, discussion of the making of the 1944 Education Act by Conservative and Christian educationalists. It adds to a body of literature on the importance of civil and religious ideals in twentieth-century English history of education.

Originally published in 1976,this survey of policy-making in secondary education in Britain from 1944-1977, analyzes the relationship between the politician and the educationist and the part each plays in the policy-making process, paying particular attention to the role of central and local government, the teachers’ organizations and the political parties. The volume illustrates how the anticipated importance of the teachers’ organizations in initiating changes in policy was ill-founded while the political parties made a valuable contribution.

This book covers a crucial period for the development of state education in Britain; the advent of the comprehensive debate before and during the Second World War; the War years themselves and the 1944 Education Act; the post-War Labour Government; and Churchill's last government in a time of education expansion. From the 1960s, the focus shifted to questions of social deprivation and educational opportunities, secondary school selection, the debate on standards, Robbins and higher education, and the continuing theme of the dominance of public schools. The book is divided into four sections, which are then divided into chapters. Each chapter takes as its main reference point a key issue within the chronological framework of the book, e.g. resistance to secondary education for all, politics and textbooks, multilateral and technical schools, pressure groups and the 1944 Education Act, Churchill and the Conservatives. Much new light is thrown on the topics by the author's use of new material and he has made a valuable contribution to the politics of education.
