Description: | School attendance medal awarded to Mr. Jenkins during
1906-1912 when he attended Tylney Road School, now St. Georges,
Bickley. In the 19th century acts were passed which made
education compulsory throughout England. Truancy was common as
many children needed to work to help earn money for their
family. To encourage children to attend school on a regular
basis medals were given by School Boards. This medal was awarded
by the Borough of Bromley Education Committee. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bromley Museum | Rights holder: | Bromley Museum Service | Subjects: | Public services | Temporal: | 1906 - 1912 | Source: | Bromley Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
