Students: Changing Roles, Changing Lives

What it means to be a student has changed. It has always meant more than the formal academic role, and this text is concerned with the changes in students lives, activities and attitudes since the period of student activism in the 1960s and 1970s.

<p>Looks at changes not just in the academic role of British college students, but in their lives, activities, and attitudes since the activism of the 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on interviews with students and staff, discusses such matters as residence, student unions, clubs and societies, the lives of different constituencies of students, representation, leisure, hardship, and part-time employment. Also draws comparisons with students in the US. Distributed by Taylor &amp; Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.</p>

Originally published 1974. Thousands of elementary schools for the children of the poor were founded during the nineteenth century, yet there is scarcely a published history of a single one of them. This volume is precisely such a history and the authors trace its story against the background of local and national change in education and society.   On the basis of a unique collection of records the authors have pieced together a picture of the social composition of the school, its curriculum and teaching methods, and its administration and finance. They relate the history of the school to that of London and the church, to that of educational authorities and educational policy.

Cambridge University Press

<p>Education was a critical focus of the "war on poverty" declared by President Johnson in 1964. U.S. policy built on research, and experiments being conducted in the early 1960s produced major programs such as the preschool Head Start and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, 1965. In this major transatlantic study two senior educationalists examine both these developments and similar processes in Britain--notably the Plowden report of 1967. The Silvers examine the shift of attention in Britain from social class and the secondary school to poverty and the primary and preschool stage, and use extensive archive and interview material to analyze in depth transatlantic interactions, similarities, and differences in systems and policies. An Educational War on Poverty makes a substantial contribution to recent social and educational history, of interest both to scholars and policy makers, not least for its two large-scale national bibliographies.</p>
