Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Equality of educational provision became one of the objectives of the Labour Party exactly a century ago. Vigorous campaigning by the teachers' trade unions and the Socialist Educational Association led to a period of progress in the 1960s to the early-1980s, but this was later undermined. Today the economic conditions and educational plight of British working class children are a disgrace and class divisions are greater than ever. For many years Max was a key figure in these battles and his memoirs provide a clear picture of events and the political forces involved. Readers must judge whether they provide an explanation for the lack of progress or could serve as a guide for the future. Both Max and Margaret were active in wider socialist campaigning. Max was a party loyalist whereas Margaret only stayed within a party while in agreement with its key policies. She was a Labour Party activist and Council candidate in the 1950s but left over the failure to support CND. Re-joining later, she left over the war in Iraq. She had come to realise that First Past the Post undermines democracy. The main targets of Margaret's campaigning were housing problems and widening access to Higher Education. Max and Margaret shared objectives and actively assisted each other in their campaigns but did not always agree about the route forward. So their memoirs provide two perspectives on past events. Equality of educational provision became one of the objectives of the Labour Party exactly a century ago. Vigorous campaigning by the teachers' trade unions and the Socialist Educational Association led to a period of progress in the 1960s to the early-1980s, but this was later undermined.
