UMA ESCOLA INFANTIL NA GRÃ-BRETANHA
AS OPERÁRIAS DE GUERRA LEVAM OS FILHOS PARA A ESCOLA
As escolas infantils eram muito úteis mesmo antes da guerra; incluíndo creches, na Inglaterra e no País de Gales havia mais de 200, com uma
freqüência de cêrca de 15.000 crianças. As condições de guerra aumentaram ainda mais o seu valor para a sociedade e a nação. No fim de
1944, mais de 7 milhões dos 16 milhões de mulheres na Grã-Bretanha entre 14 e 59 anos de idade, estavam a contribuir directamente para o
esfôrço de guerra através da indústria, o Serviço de Defesa Paciva Anti-Aérea e os Serviços Auxiliares. Isto tornou necessário deixar as
escolas infantis e as creches tomar conta das crianças durante as horas de trabalho. Só escolas infantis há hoje mais de 2.800 de vários
tipos, com uma freqüência de mais de 131.000 crianças. As crianças aprendem a fazer muitas coisas úteis em lugares agradáveis, enquanto as
mãis trabalham para o esfôrço de guerra.

[The lady gardener presides as each child selects an apple from the tree. First thing every morning the children choose the toys they want
for the day. A nursery school in Britain. War-working mothers bring their children. Nursery schools served a good purpose even before the
war, when, including day nurseries, there were over 200 of them in England and Wales, catering for some 15,000 children. War conditions
placed a premium on their value and the service they render to the nation. By the end of 1944 more than 7 million of the 16 million women
in Great Britain between the ages of 14 and 59 years were contributing directly to the war effort through industry, Civil Defence and the
Auxiliary Services. This meant that someone else had to care for the nation's youngsters during duty hours. Nursery schools provided the
answer to this problem. There are now more than 2,800 of them of various types in operation, caring for over 131,000 children. The children
are taught many useful things in happy surroundings while their mothers serve the war effort. For victory. The Press and Information
Service of the British Embassy.]
