EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time, precisely one hundred years ago, to witness the birth of star education in England. The school board for London took a significant step by constructing one of its first schools on Berger Road in Hackney. On this momentous day, the newly built Berger Road Primary School was inaugurated with great enthusiasm and pride. The distinguished Michael Aspel had the honor of officially opening the school amidst an atmosphere filled with hope and anticipation. Following the ceremony, Mr. Aspel graciously embarked on a tour of the school's various classes, engaging in heartfelt conversations with the young pupils who were undoubtedly thrilled to meet him. Transporting ourselves to 13th March 1970 through this remarkable photograph allows us to witness not only an educational milestone but also captures a snapshot of children immersed in their learning journey within a vibrant classroom setting. Their innocent faces radiate curiosity and eagerness as they absorb knowledge from their dedicated teachers. Photographer Malcolm McNeill has masterfully captured this timeless image that encapsulates both nostalgia and progress. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come since those early days of star education while celebrating the enduring importance placed upon primary schooling for generations past, present, and future alike.
