Arthur Balfour and Educational Change: The Myth Revisited
British Journal of Educational Studies 42 (2):133 - 149 (1994)
Abstract
This article explores the political background to the 1902 Education Act, and argues that Balfour's commitment to the measure was founded more an political expediency than a desire to initiate major educational reform. It concludes that Balfour's interest in education was, at best, lukewarm, at worst, apathetic.My notes
