Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox academic Sir Frederick Clarke (2 August 1880[1] – 6 January 1952) was an English educationist who was Director of the Institute of Education in the University of London between 1936 and 1945.[2]

During the 1930s and 1940s, he was also a strong advocate for educational reform in England and Wales. Clarke was fully involved in the public educational debate at the time and a member of a private group of leading educational thinkers known as 'The Moot'. He is known particularly for his book Education and Social Change: an English interpretation from 1940. Other books include the collection of essays Essays in the Politics of Education (1923) and Freedom in the Educative Society (1948).Шаблон:Sfn[3]

Early life

Sir Fred Clarke was born on 2 August 1880 at High Cogges, Witney, Oxfordshire, his parents were Mr. & Mrs William Clarke.Шаблон:Sfn He moved with his family to Oxford where he attended St. Ebbe's Anglican Boys' School which was a monitorial school and where he was selected to be one of the pupil-teachers (1894-1899).Шаблон:Sfn

Sir Fred Clarke obtained a first-class in the Queen's Scholarship which entitled him to subsidised attendance at the Oxford University Day Training Teaching College at St. Catherine's Society for poor scholars who provisioned their own lodgings. In order to obtain a degree he also studied history in addition to his studies for a Teaching Certificate and hence graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with first-class honours for his four-year degree course (1899-1903).Шаблон:Sfn

Personal life

Sir Fred Clark married Edith Annie Gilliams in 1907.Шаблон:Sfn He had two daughters: Anna Clarke and Claudia Clarke.Шаблон:Sfn

Career

The major highlights of Fred Clarke's career as an educationist were: - [4][5][6]

Public service

Committee evidence

Clarke contributed to the Spens Report (1938) with a memorandum on influences affecting secondary curricula in the dominions where he expounded his understanding based both on his time as professor of education in both Canada & South Africa, his world tour of 1935 and time advising overseas students.Шаблон:Sfn Clarke also gave evidence to the Norwood committee.

McNair committee

Prior to the Education Act of 1944 (known as the Butler Act), when the Board of Education was still in operation, Clarke served on the McNair committee under the chairmanship of Sir Arnold McNair to consider the supply, recruitment and training of teachers and youth leaders. Controversially, the committee split on the key recommendations regarding the ideal organisation for training teachers, whereby Clarke and half the committee supported Universities providing teacher training whereas the chair and the other half of the committee supported a continued role for teacher training colleges.Шаблон:Sfn Clarke's argument for universities hinged on the synergy between university research into pedagogy and the training of teachers so research was improved and teacher training was always abreast of the latest ideas. The counter argument for training colleges, especially those attached to schools was that training was more practical and hands-on.[7]

Central advisory council for education (England)

After the Education Act of 1944 brought the Ministry of Education into force, Fred Clarke was appointed as the first chairman of the Central Advisory Council for Education (England), where he played a role guiding post-war education policy for the new Ministry. During his tenure, two inquiries were carried out and with the resulting reports known as the Clarke Reports: -

  1. School and Life (1947)Шаблон:Sfn
  2. Out of School (1948)Шаблон:Sfn

The Clarke Report 1948 (Out of School) recommended an expansion of municipal facilities for children which most people today have enjoyed during their childhood, including: - libraries encouraging children by stocking children's books and later innovations like reading corners, playgrounds with equipment such as slides, swings and roundabouts, public swimming pools and sports playing fields.Шаблон:Sfn

Other public service roles

Clarke also undertook numerous advisory and committee roles with, for example the National Union of Teachers, the British Council and the establishment of the National Foundation for Educational Research.[5]

Bibliography

Following Sir Fred Clarke's death, his bibliography was written then published in 1967 by Frank W. Mitchell, it was titled; Sir Fred Clarke: Master-Teacher 1880-1952 (London: Longmans, 1967).Шаблон:Sfn

Fred Clarke's daughter Claudia Clarke effectively produced an 'early years' addendum to Mitchell's Bibliography in 2005 with the publication of Sir Fred Clarke: a Reappraisal of his early years 1880 - 1911. Claudia stated that Fred Clarke's widow, Edith Clarke restricted Mitchell's access to his private papers so there was little information on Fred Clarke's early years, the likely reason for this was to keep secret, a convict in the family who was transported to Australia. After Edith's death, Claudia gained access to the papers and published in the Journal; - Education Research and Perspectives, Vol. 33, No. 1, 2006.Шаблон:Sfn

Clarke's personal papers are now held at the Institute of Education Library and Archives, University College London
