Technical education in britain

FEW NATIONS TODAY can be unaware of the fact that during the past 50 years the technological application of scientific discovery and invention has yielded far greater changes in the pattern of human life and livelihood than the world has ever known before. The future of few countries could be as dependent upon the quality of their response to this challenge of change than the English and, for this reason, technical education has been and is receiving considerable attention in England at the present time. It has been recognized by the government, the local education authorities, and by industry in that country that insufficient people are being trained for responsible positions in industry.
