Wynford Davies

pp xii299 1989

`...an excellent survey of the formative years of Intermediate and Secondary Education in Wales...As well as providing a very informative account of the curriculum and organisation of the Intermediate Schools, the author offers revisionist interpretations of a number of key issues...The author provides a balanced insight into the operation of the new system of Intermediate Education established under the legislation of 1889, but also highlights organisational, curricular and linguistic issues which have major relevance to the concerns of educationists in the 1990s. (Welsh Journal of Education)

`...its handsome appearance and stimulating content constitute a fitting memorial to one who, like the schools he describes, served his nation well.' (Journal of Educational Administration and History) `...this volume makes a valuable contribution to [the history of education]...with its careful and well argued assessment of the place of the intermediate school.'
