| AdminHistory | 'The New Era' was first published by Beatrice Ensor in January 1920 and became the journal of the newly found New Education Fellowship in 1921. The journal, published 4 times a year, contained 'the Outlook Tower' editorial column initially written by Ensor; 'educational notes' list educational developments in different countries; book reviews; questions and answers page; and articles on subjects regarding new education and experimental schools. By the mid 1920 it was produced 10 times a year. It became the 'New Era in Home and School' in 1930. Peggy Volkov was the editor from the 1938-1962. The New Era faces financial problems in the 1960s and had a series of editors and associate editors based around the world. In 1971 the New Era dropped 'in home and school' from the title and incorporated the World Studies Education Quarterly Bulletin. In 1972 the administration of the journal was revised and the single editor was replaced with three editors, David Bowlam, David Bridges and Anthony Weaver, who worked under an editorial board. From 1973 the journal was reduced to 9 issues a year. In 1975 'Ideas', a newsletter published from 1967 by the Curriculum Laboratory at Goldsmith's College, was incorporated in the 'New Era', and its editor, Leslie Smith, became an associate editor of the 'New Era'. The administration of the journal was revised in 1976. The number of issues was reduced to 6, and the journal now had 6 editors. Anthony Weaver continued as the coordinating editor with Leslie Smith, Nick Peacey, Colin Harris, Robin Richardson, and Michael Wright. The journal also had several associate editors around the world. In 1982 the numbers of issues were reduced to 4 and the publication of the journal was transferred to the Institute of Education. The journal was revised in 1986 and a new Editorial Board was established. Only 3 issues a year were published from 1987. In 1988 the journal was renamed 'The New Era in Education'. |
