Description (What the record is about)

Files of Board of Education and successors, Technical Branch and successors correspondence with Local Education Authorities relating to the provision of further education.
The records cover a wide field of local authority administration and include the submission by authorities, prior to 1933, of annual proposals and estimates for part-time day and evening provision in schools and institutes.
The early papers (up till 1946) contain His Majesty's Inspector's interim and full inspection reports on the adequacy of provision for further education in each authority's area; problems of reorganisation; and reports on particular schools or institutions.
The files relate to English and Welsh counties and county boroughs, and the Isle of Man.
Proposals by Local Education Authorities to use their powers to maintain or extend such facilities are reflected in questions concerning grant aid, acquisition of land, attendance at evening institutes. The papers also include Local Education Authorities' Food Education Schemes for war-time cookery demonstrations provided at centres during the early war years. Many of these demonstrations were eventually discontinued due to various war-time difficulties. In all cases the original schemes only have been kept.
This series of records stems from two series of Local Education Authority files known under the titles of Area Arrangement and General, which were amalgamated in 1934 to form the current series of Further Education Local Education Authority Files - Series A.
