Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an extensive investigation into the state of education in Wales, predominantly focusing on the availability of education to the working classes and their acquisition of English proficiency. Conducted under the auspices of the Committee of Council on Education, the author was tasked with assessing the number of schools and scholars in each district, their attendance rates, ages, and the effectiveness of instruction. The author discovered that while private benevolence had established many schools, they were largely supported by meager payments from impoverished families, religious donations, and voluntary subscriptions. Despite the substantial efforts of Sunday schools in teaching reading, their curriculum was confined to religious instruction and rudimentary literacy skills. The report laments the lack of secular education and English language instruction, recognizing their importance for the social and economic advancement of the Welsh people. The author argues that the preservation of the Welsh language, while cherished, should not hinder the acquisition of English, which is essential for engaging with the wider world. This book provides valuable insights into the historical educational landscape of Wales and the challenges faced by its working-class population in accessing quality education and improving their life circumstances.
