Education in Kent

 

1947

The post-war baby boom, that peaked in 1947, necessitated about a 25% increase in expenditure in Kent on infant and junior schools in the 1950s. Despite this, spending on primary education remained relatively low and the pressure on accommodation, class sizes and resources continued till the 1990s. There were shortages of teachers, especially in the 1950s and 60s and KEC responded with emergency training in the 1940s, the takeover of Stockwell College in Bromley and the building of Sittingbourne and Nonnington Teacher Training Colleges in the 1960s. Curriculum change in the primary schools followed national patterns and developed steadily in the post war period with a notable improvement in standards towards the end of the 1990s.

Education for pupils with special educational needs was underdeveloped through much of the twentieth century. One school and a policy of sending the most severely disabled pupils out of the county characterised attitudes in the 1930s. The 1945 Act required KEC to look after eleven categories of children with special needs. Provision was established slowly. The School Psychology Service was formed in 1960 and there was considerable debate about policy. It was not until 1974 that there were 16 day schools, 11 boarding schools, 6 hospital schools, 11 units and 12 remedial centres. This was a revolution in the attitudes towards and support for, special needs. Since the 1970s more special needs children have been taken into mainstream schools with considerable emphasis placed on inclusion during the late 1990s.

In the 1920s and 30s there were 14 Technical Institutes and 10 Art Schools in the county. 17 of these institutions were housed in buildings constructed before 1900 and the standard of the accommodation was very poor. After 1945 the Kent Education Committee development plan outlined new provision for 10,000 places, however, there were no new buildings until the early 1960s when Bromley, Medway and North West Kent were developed. By the mid 1970s there had been considerable building including a new agricultural college at Hadlow. In 1993 further education colleges became independent of local authority funding.

 

1938 - 1945

The statistics for 1938 and 1945 show why the budget for education increased from £3 million to £5 million. In 1938 there were 103,00 pupils, 3,000 teachers and 597 schools. By 1945 this had increased to 161,000 pupils, 5,000 teachers and 838 schools, of which 500 had suffered war damage. There had also been several phases of evacuation to and from the county as well as the considerable war-time disruption of classes. By 1945 there was a desperate need for renewal.

The Education Act of 1944 allowed KEC to continue with 'the well tried bases of existing school types' thus maintaining a selective system in the county that continues today. It is a system that has been no more efficient than similar counties with comprehensive systems and which has consistently offered limited opportunities to those who do not pass the selection tests at eleven.

 

1918 - 1939

Between 1918 and 1939 there was increased expenditure on secondary education but this was hampered by recurring periods of extended financial stringency. The economic crises meant funds in Kent were in short supply. A significant proportion of the expenditure of the KEC was on new schools for the expanding north west of the county were 11,074 new school places were needed between 1933 and 1938.There were increased opportunities in secondary schools for a very limited number of pupils but they did not match the ambitions of the 1918 Education Act. In 1903, Kent provided 2,036 places in secondary schools; by 1929 this had risen to 12,263.

A similar increase had taken place in the art and technical schools where numbers had risen from 8,743 to 15,465. This reflected the interest of parents in the advantages of a secondary education but by the end of the 1930s only limited structural and physical reorganisation of the secondary system had been achieved. There was great diversity within the county and a very limited vision for most of its young people. Only in the late 1930s was there systematic financing and planning and no sooner had the economy improved than the impending war once again halted further expenditure.

 

1914 - 1918

Proposals by the Liberals to increase expenditure on education in 1914 promised a review but it was fatally halted by the war. Despite the conflict, the education system in Kent continued to grow but was seriously disrupted with 65% of KEC staff 'joining up'. The focus on reform returned towards the end of the war and was further supplemented by the public pressure that was represented by a 25% increase in the number of secondary school pupils between 1914 and 1918.
Moral posturing about the impact of juvenile employment during the war led to an outcry against the exploitation of children and this, with several other factors, turned the government's attention to reviewing the inequitable and inefficient secondary education system. After the war a government departmental committee noted that 'public education after the elementary school leaving age is a part-time affair. And there is very little of it.' This was certainly the case in Kent and it would not improve greatly in the inter-war years.
 

1900

In 1900 secondary education places in the county were limited. The wealthy
used private tutors, sent their children to the Public Schools, or to one of the many private schools and academies. Those less well off had very few opportunities.

Some board schools developed classes for older pupils but these were very deliberately abolished by the education Act of 1902 which supported the grammar schools, that were in many cases competing unsuccessfully with the technical institutes.

Provision for girls at secondary level was very poor and a programme of new schools slowly increased the inadequate number of places available. Throughout this period the perception in the KEC was that elementary education was for the lower classes and that few would benefit from a secondary education. The focus at secondary level after 1902 was almost solely on the grammar schools for the middle classes.

 

1891

The KEC had it origins in a sub committee of the Kent Technical Education Committee (KTEC) established in 1891 to administer funds released by the government from the Local Taxation Act of 1890. These funds, known as 'whisky money', were a duty raised on alcohol that was passed directly on to the newly established county councils to develop technical education or supplement the rates. The KTEC was established to provide grants for the establishment of technical institutes and grammar schools in towns, two agricultural colleges and several further education initiatives.
 

1870 Act

It cannot be claimed that 1870 created a new education culture, rather it was one that was different and one that became dominant model by the end of the century. The Education Act of 1870 forced the establishment of elected school boards to provide education where the presence of the voluntary societies was inadequate.
By 1901 there were 90 board schools in Kent and 342 voluntary schools many of which, according to the inspectors, were in a very poor state of repair. In the Act of 1902 the government delegated the funding of school boards and the voluntary schools in the primary sector to local authorities, which in the case of Kent was the Kent Education Committee (KEC).

 

1850s

The most accurate statistical picture of the state of education in Kent in the 1850s is provided by Ecclesiastical census of 1851. This census included one of the earliest assessments of educational provision. It reported that there were 638 Sunday schools with a total of 57,987 pupils and 6,416 teachers of whom only 338 were paid. In the summary tables Kent is listed as having 85,458 pupils in 1,930 day schools of which 1430 were private day schools and 590 were public day schools. There were also 27 workhouse schools, 8 military schools and 8 Naval schools. In 1851 the support for these schools came from a variety of sources, local taxation supported 43, endowments existed for 79 whilst 353 were supported by religious bodies, that left 25 public schools maintained by fees. There were 25 grammar schools for boys and a further 65 endowed schools. At the very bottom of the system the census records 10 Ragged schools, one agricultural school and 14 which were of 'no specific character'. This reinforces the picture of diversity in the provision of education in Kent prior to the 1870 Act.
