This book is a descriptive account of the origins and early development of University Tutorial Classes, a movement in England that brought scholars and workers together to pursue learning and education. The movement's premise was that both groups have much to learn from the other, and that adult workers were capable of undertaking rigorous and advanced academic work. The book traces the movement's beginnings to the Workers Educational Association, formed in 1903, highlighting the key thinkers and pivotal events that shaped its early years. The author argues that the movement contributed to a greater appreciation of the value of education for the working class, and transformed the way universities engaged with the community. It also examines the movement's impact on educational reform, leading to changes in the regulations of the Board of Education and the establishment of a joint committee between Oxford University and representatives of the working class. The book's meticulous research and detailed account make it a valuable resource for understanding the movement's significance and its lasting impact on adult education in England.
