About This Quote
The working class had imposed upon them a sterile and authoritarian educational system which mirrored the ethos of the corporate workplace. This quote is taken from the book, "Education and Society in England 1750-1950" by John K. Walton, which he wrote for Oxford University Press. It investigates the historical development of education in western Europe. After discussing the rise of capitalism following the Renaissance, Walton examines three major themes in English society: 1) The growth of the Church 2) The development of political ideologies 3) The expansion of education.
