Abstract
THE Education Bill introduced by the Government on March 24 has been so freely discussed in the public Press that everyone interested in educational work is familiar with its chief provisions. The fundamental idea is the creation of local bodies to supersede School Boards, managers of voluntary schools and technical instruction committees, and to be responsible for the organisation and maintenance of the various educational agencies—both primary and secondary—within their respective areas. The local education authority will be the County Council in counties and the Borough Council in county boroughs; it will work through committees appointed under schemes to be approved by the Board of Education, consisting of members appointed by the County and Borough Councils, with a minority of persons possessing expert knowledge of educational work. The committees will thus be similar to those under which the work of technical education has been carried on since 1889.
