The post-War years saw a massive drive towards extending further education to the working classes. The most interesting development to come out of this was the establishment of the Arts School (which the likes of John Lennon, Ray Davies, Pete Townsend, David Bowie, Brian Eno and so many others all went to). These seemed to exist outside of the conventional university system, acting more as a space to freely develop ideas. Pop Art was conceived here (a good few years before the likes of Warhol ever thought about it) and is now thought to be the key factor behind a number of the more open-minded strands that are found within popular culture in Britain during the 1960s.
