Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book documents a conference held in Edinburgh in 1876 to discuss the implementation of a secondary education system for Scotland. It collects the speeches of prominent academics, who acknowledged that existing provision was insufficient to meet the needs of the country. The discussions ranged widely, covering issues of equality of access for those of lower socioeconomic status, the appropriate age range for secondary education, and the question of whether education should be focused exclusively on intellectual development or incorporate moral and spiritual strands. The author argues that the aim of any educational system should be to educate the whole person, not just their intellect. The book provides a valuable historical insight into how these important educational debates were addressed during the 19th century. It explores the concerns and ideas of some of the leading educational thinkers and provides a rich source of information for those interested in the development of the Scottish education system and, by extension, systems all over the world.
