-
Tutorial classes evolved from the union of interests of the Workers' Educational Association and the University of Oxford in a movement designed to increase and enlarge facilities for adult liberal education.
Tutorial classes were recognised by the Board of Education and grant aided under the regulations of 1908-1909. Special grants were subsequently made under the Regulations for University Tutorial Classes in England and Wales "in aid of part-time Courses in subjects of general as distinct from vocational education, given under the educational supervision either of a University or University College, acting directly or through a Committee or Delegacy, or an educational body containing representatives of a University or University College and constituted expressly for such supervision".
Provision for adult education was subsequently embodied in the Further Education Grant Regulations 1946.
