Schooling for the Masses

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Compulsory mass schooling grew out of the demands of 19th-century industrial society. The George Dixon School in Birmingham was founded by a wealthy Birmingham MP, who was a leading campaigner for state education. The film explores the ideas of the school's founder in relation to mass industrial society today.
