Out of Birmingham: George Dixon (1820-98), 'Father of Free Education'

Forster's Elementary Education Act of 1870 introduced compulsory and free education into England for the first time. Mayor, George Dixon played a critical role as the leader of a campaigning group, the Birmingham-based National Education League, in persuading the new Liberal government under Gladstone of the need for action.
