Education in 1911

Recommended by THF

A podcast from The National Archives

Education in 1911

What was education like for the majority of children in 1911, the year when pupils staged strikes in 62 schools? This talk provides a fascinating glimpse of day-to-day life in an Edwardian school, covering such aspects as lessons, discipline, and examinations. It also touches on the dramatic resignation of the President of the Board of Education.

Author: Ann Morton
Duration: 00:38:08

Listen to the podcast, and see further information, including images and primary documents.
