Abstract

This thesis examines the voice and lived experiences of working class people educated in Everton, Liverpool, UK in the years 1944-1979. It is framed in an oral history tradition and draws on the wider humanities reflecting the multivariate nature of influences on educational experience. An interdisciplinary approach to post war history has been identified as a gap and the interplay of sociology and politics shapes the discussion on the impact of education policy. The voice of working class communities is rare in educational accounts of the time and subsequent analysis. The analytical framework combines thematic review with a focus on diverse perspectives using alternative lenses to preserve the authenticity of the voice.
