Biographies & Pen Portraits

Biographies and Pen Portraits.

This series of biographies expands on references made in the History of Technical Education and the History of Technical and Commercial Examinations to the contributions of some of the key people who have influenced the developments of technical and commercial education.

Similarly, where key organisations were set up during the development of technical education, this appendix provides pen portraits describing their existence with further insight into their roles.

I have also included additional pieces on particular issues and periods that impacted on the development of the history of technical and commercial education and training e.g the Cockerton Judgement. Again I hope these add value to the site.
