Assistant Masters' Association
The Assistant Masters' Association (AMA) was a trade union representing male teachers in British secondary schools. The union was founded in 1891 as the Incorporated Association of Assistant Masters in Secondary Schools, although it soon became the "Assistant Masters' Association", a counterpart to the Association of Assistant Mistresses (AAM). Philip Edgar Martineau was one of the founders of the association. Membership of the union grew steadily, reaching 3,259 in 1910, and about 40,000 by 1978. From 1978, single-sex trade unions were prohibited, and the AMA accordingly merged with the AAM, forming the Assistant Masters' and Mistresses' Association. General Secretaries :1901: C. J. C.

Teacher Associations Based In The United Kingdom
A teacher, also called a schoolteacher or formally an educator, is a person who helps students to acquire knowledge, competence, or virtue, via the practice of teaching. ''Informally'' the role of teacher may be taken on by anyone (e.g. when showing a colleague how to perform a specific task). In some countries, teaching young people of school age may be carried out in an informal setting, such as within the family (homeschooling), rather than in a formal setting such as a school or college. Some other professions may involve a significant amount of teaching (e.g. youth worker, pastor). In most countries, ''formal'' teaching of students is usually carried out by paid professional teachers. This article focuses on those who are ''employed'', as their main role, to teach others in a ''formal'' education context, such as at a school or other place of ''initial'' formal education or training. Duties and functions A teacher's role may vary among cultures. Teachers may provi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trade Unions Established In 1891
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. Traders generally negotiate through a medium of credit or exchange, such as money. Though some economists characterize barter (i.e. trading things without the use of money) as an early form of trade, money was invented before written history began. Consequently, any story of how money first developed is mostly based on conjecture and logical inference. Letters of credit, paper money, and non-physical money have greatly simplified and promoted trade as buying can be separated from selling, or earning. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labor, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentra ...
