GOVERNING BODIES

Abstract

THERE ARE many reasons why technical education failed so lamentably to develop in this country up to the second world war. One of them was the way in which the country's educational planning and control was dominated by those with dilettante interests in the classics, and with an almost open scorn for science and technology. A second was the lack of interest by industrialists who left the technical colleges to produce equipment, devise syllabuses and teach part‐time, and very often weary students, about subjects which were often remote from their everyday jobs.
