Public Schools, Safety-Nets and Educational Ladders: The Classification of Girls' Secondary Schools, 1880-1914.

Howarth, Janet

Oxford Review of Education, v11 n1 p59-71 1985

In order to study women's social mobility in the United Kingdom, a typology of girls' schools is needed. Proposed here is a typology for girls' secondary schools before 1914. The typology preserves distinctions between public and private, boarding and day schools, and introduces subdivisions indicating academic quality. (Author/RM)
