- Abstract
The article presents information on the efforts made by Richard Mulcaster in the field of educational development. Mulcaster was Great Britain's preeminent headmaster in the sixteenth century. Unlike most of his fellow schoolmen, he was concerned with the education of all of his nation's people. He wrote in the "natural English tongue" because he wanted to reach the widest possible audience. His intent was to reform education, and he succeeded in ways from which people still profit. Mulcaster's advice has a startling immediacy. Allowing for the difference in language, he suggested in his writings that the institutions of education must be based upon concepts of public utility. The services and the resources of the institutions must unequivocally be available to all, regardless of condition, and on terms and in manners appropriate to explicit needs and capacities. He wanted that the institutions of education, whatever form they take as they are shaped to meet individual and group needs, must deliver the essential services which they are designed to provide.
