Right Turn: Rhodes Boyson’s Conversion from Comprehensive Education to Parental Choice (1950–1988)
The riddle of the voucher: Parental choice and Conservative governments in England in the 1980s
The Reform of “Free” State Education: Arthur Seldon and the Education Voucher Scheme (1957–88)
Arthur Seldon (1916–2005) was a significant British neo-liberal economist in the second half of the twentieth century. From 1957 to 1988, as the “engine room” of the Institute of Economic Affairs, Seldon had been advocating the reform of “free” state education. He vigorously argued for education vouchers, by which each parent could be provided with purchasing power and school choice. From the mid-1960s, his ideas gradually attracted the attention…
Ideological Struggle in Education: Brian Simon and Comprehensive Education Movement (1946-1965)
Brian Simon (1915–2002), a Marxist historian and educationist in Britain, was a leading pioneer in the comprehensive education movement. Although Simon’s great contribution to this movement has been recognised by historians, the development of Simon’s ideas and his actions in this movement have hardly been examined in great depth by previous literature. Hence, this article explores Simon’s ideals of the comprehensive school and his vigorous invol…
The crisis in education: Brian Simon’s battle for comprehensive education (1970–1979)
Brian Simon (1915–2002), an influential Marxist historian and educationist in Britain, had been campaigning for comprehensive education from the late 1940s to the 1960s. In the early 1970s, followed by a rapid expansion of comprehensive schools since the issue of Circular 10/65, comprehensive education was under attack by the Conservative government and other conservatives. In the mid-late 70s, along with the conservatives and the New Right, left…
Defending Comprehensive Education: Brian Simon’s Response to Margaret Thatcher’s Governments (1979–1990)
Brian Simon (1915–2002) was a leading advocate of comprehensive education in the second half of the twentieth century in Britain. In the 1980s, in the face of the ideological offensive from the New Right, he firmly stood by Marxist ideals and resolutely resisted policies of the right-wing leading to the 1988 Education Reform Act. Despite this rigorous campaigning that differed from that of the Labour Party, Simon’s significance has never been pro…

Fighting for social democracy: R.H. Tawney and educational reconstruction in the Second World War
R.H. Tawney (1880–1962), a leading English economic historian and prominent socialist, was vigorously involved in educational reconstruction during the Second World War. For Tawney, the war was a war for social democracy. His ideals of social democracy formed a basis for his case for Public (independent) School reform and free secondary education for all. Despite this, the connection between Tawney’s ideals and his perspectives on educational iss…
Fred Clarke’s Ideals of Liberal Democracy: State and Community in Education
This paper examines the continuity and changes in Clarke’s ideas about the State and community in education, especially in relation to a rapidly changing political situation in England in the 1930s and 1940s. His ideas evolved in the intellectual context of British idealism. Moreover, in response to the threat to democracy arising from Fascism or Totalitarianism, the distinction between the State and community was a key theme in Clarke’s ideals o…
