Improvements In Education

Improvements In Education: As It Respects The Industrious Classes Of The Community (1805) is a book written by Joseph Lancaster, an English Quaker and education reformer. The book focuses on the education of the working classes and the poor, arguing that they too deserve access to quality education. Lancaster advocates for a system of education that is practical, efficient, and cost-effective, emphasizing the use of group instruction, peer tutoring, and student-led learning. He also introduces his innovative method of education, known as the Lancasterian system, which involves using older students to teach younger ones in large classrooms. The book provides a detailed account of the Lancasterian system, its benefits, and its implementation in various schools across England. Lancaster's work was influential in the development of public education in Britain and other countries, and his ideas continue to inspire education reformers today.Containing, Among Other Important Particulars, An Account Of The Institution For The Education Of One Thousand Poor Children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
