Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinises the educational landscape of the Victorian era, focusing on the Manchester Model Secular School. Founded in 1853-4, this institution provided a free education for the impoverished children of Manchester, many of whom worked as street vendors or in factories at a tender age. The author explores the school's curriculum, which included practical knowledge such as domestic economy, geography, physiology, and social economy. The author argues that the school's focus on secular education was crucial, as it allowed for instruction that was both impartial and accessible to children from diverse religious backgrounds. Despite its success, the school faced financial difficulties and was denied state funding due to its secular nature. The author argues that the school's exclusion from state funding reflects the prevailing social and religious attitudes of the time, which prioritised religious instruction in education. The book concludes by highlighting the significance of the Manchester Model Secular School as a pioneering institution that challenged the dominance of religious education and provided a valuable service to the underprivileged children of Manchester.
