Abstract

This chapter will explore the interactions between the British Empire and the historical development, content and perceived purposes of education. As recent historiography has shown, the reductive 'metropole' and 'periphery' model of empire often obscures the complexity and transnational nature of interlinked imperial 'networks', as well as downplaying the extent to which practices and ideas in the colonies influenced Britain. It is likely that the legacy of these kinds of influences on schooling will take on renewed relevance in the contemporary educational context, especially in light of an imminent 'Brexit'. This chapter will therefore summarize the wide-ranging impact of imperialism on British schools.
