Abstract	:	The Thesis examines the development of technical educationfrom the Great Exhibition (1851). Against the background ofeducational thought and practice and working class demand foreducational facilities, it shows how changing economicconditions rendered-the growth of technical education an urgentnecessity. Expressed through such agencies as were provided byInternational exhibitions, the demand for technical educationwas articulated through middle and working class agencies andexperimentally met through such educational agencies as Schoolsof Design. Intensified foreign competition indicated the needof this development and depression after 1873 intensified it.The Technical Education Act of 1889 has its origin in growingpressure thus engendered and represents an acceptance byParliament of a need demonstrated through half a century ofworking class and middle class discussion and pressure.
