- Notes:
- Edited by Marilyn Bowler with the Alan Ramsay House Editorial Committee, Transforming Lives tells the history of an enlightened government policy in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, in which young men and women were offered studentships that paid their university fees and gave them a salary to train as teachers. Those from the country were offered accommodation in single-sex teachers hostels. Alan Ramsay House, for male students was the largest of these. The studentships and hostels gave students from less privileged backgrounds, and rural origins, an opportunity to gain a tertiary education and a professional career that they would otherwise not have been able to afford. The 44 contributors to this book all testify to to varied ways in which this opportunity transformed lives – their own, and those of the students they engaged with in their teaching careers.
