This book is a collection of essays written in 1857 by various experts on education, convened to investigate the concerning trend of children leaving school at a young age. The essays provide detailed analyses of data collected from schools across England and Wales, and put forward ideas for potential solutions. The collected data reveals that in 1857 working-class children were leaving school at the early age of 10 on average, with only 1 in 50 remaining in education until the age of 14. The author examines the impact of this on the children's education, exploring the extent to which they were able to acquire basic skills such as reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, and history before leaving school. The book also contains a variety of proposals for how to tackle the issue of early school leaving, including the introduction of compulsory education, the provision of incentives for children to stay in school, and the establishment of evening schools for those who had already left. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of education and anyone concerned with contemporary educational issues.
