Royal Commission on Secondary Education

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Royal Commission on Secondary Education was a Royal Commission which reported in 1895 and was chaired by James Bryce, 1st Viscount Bryce.

The commission was concerned with the organisation and administration of secondary education in England and Wales.[1]

The recommendations in the commission's report[2] led to the Board of Education Act 1899 and the creation of a Board of Education, the fore-runner to the UKs Ministry of Education.[3]
