Ten programmes about social factors in education

Dr. J.W.B. Douglas's study of children in their Primary school years was, when it appeared in 1964, soon recognised as an important and pioneering work. It examines the response of over five thousand children - all born during one week in March 1946 - during the early stages of their formal education.
In this programme four of the sample describe their Primary school days and Dr. Douglas discusses some of the findings of his study with Patrick McGeeney, of the Institute for Community Study
