{"product_id":"9780954001971","title":"Greasy Poles \u0026 Glass Ceilings","description":"Until 1944, higher education was fee paying and beyond the pockets of working class people. As a result, their children left school at 14 years of age, to find a job for the rest of their lives. And even the brightest could not find a place on the ladder to success. But the Butler Act provided free higher education for boys and girls from all backgrounds. And in bankrupt, post-war Britain, it was a landmark achievement that transformed the class system. In Greasy Poles and Glass Ceilings, the author describes being born into a family of farm labourers who could not read and write. But how the Butler Education Act helped him to grammar school and university, and into the professional middle classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eBrian Boughton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eBrian Boughton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJan 05, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e165 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0954001974\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780954001971\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brian Boughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47670336848177,"sku":"9780954001971","price":12.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9780954001971.jpg?v=1698559440","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780954001971","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
