THE GOVERNMENT OF TECHNICAL COLLEGES

In what it innocuously describes as an industrial appraisal of the technical colleges and their government, the Federation of British Industries draws attention to the wide gap still existing between a number of senior technical colleges and the industrial organisations which they are supposed to serve. The gap is there because many local education authorities control the technical colleges through their further education sub‐committees and are reluctant to relinquish the direction of a sector of education where developments bring prominence and importance to the civic life of their towns and counties.
