Published in 1968, Culture,Industrialisation and Education delves into the profound cultural values that shape the content of educational provisions and the impact of industrialization and advanced technology on the educational landscape. The book argues that the traditional curriculum, which heavily emphasizes cognitive and intellectual processes, often fails to meet the needs of children whose future occupations do not revolve around academic pursuits. It underscores the glaring absence of provisions for these children, particularly in the context of efforts to provide a more comprehensive and extended secondary education for the entire population.

This insightful work will captivate individuals with a keen interest in the history and sociology of education, offering valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of education and its relationship with societal changes.
