The Report on Primary Education The Report on Primary Education
was issued on Tuesday, and completes the scheme of education pro- jected in the Hadow Report of 1926. It is the work. of the Consultative Committee of the Board of Education, happily presided over by Sir Henry Hadow. The Report of 1926 recommended that primary education should end at the age of eleven, and that after that age all children should undergo some kind of secondary education. Such a division of education into two parts made necessary a considerable reconstruction of the scheme of education between the age of " infancy " and the age of entering upon secondary education. The new Report, therefore, deals with this reconstruction. The Report of 1926 has justly earned the fame of being a really understanding document, and it is probable that the new Report will win the same great reputation. * *
