The Concept of British Education Policy in the Colonies 1850–1960
It is common in the literature to refer to British colonial education policy as if it were ‘a settled course adoptedand purposefully carried into action’, but in reality it was never like that. Contrary to popular belief, the sizeand diversity of the empire meant that no one really ruled it in any direct sense. Clearly some kind of authorityhad to be exercised from London but as Arthur Mayhew said of education policy in the Colonial Empirein 1938…
The historiography of British Imperial education policy, Part II
Part II of this historiographical study examines British education policy in Africa, and in the many crown colonies, protectorates, and mandated territories around the globe. Up until 1920, the British government took far less interest than in India, in the development of schooling in Africa and the rest of the colonial empire, and education was generally left to local initiative and voluntary effort. British interest in the control of education …
The historiography of British imperial education policy, Part I
Colonial education has been controversial and widely divergent interpretations have been offered from contrasting ideological perspectives. British imperial education policy was highly contended during the colonial era and remains a contentious issue amongst many contemporary historians and a critical review of the historiography of the subject is long overdue. British colonial education policy starts in India in 1813, the intention being to prom…

It was this tradition coupled to the philanthropic movement of the late eighteenth, early nineteenth centuries that saw Christian mission schooling firmly established throughout India and the British colonial empire by the 1920s.In 1854, in India, and in 1925, in Africa, Christian missions were give…
The Nestor of British Colonial Education
1Mayhew left no personal papers apart from an unpublished memoir of his early childhood years and his time at Winchester and New College, so the story of most of his adult life must necessarily be reconstructed from miscellaneous official and semi‐official sources and from the memories of his surviving family. I am, accordingly, much indebted to Mr John Mayhew and Mrs Felicity Harlow, Mayhew's surviving son and daughter, and to Rear‐Adm (Retd) An…

Established fo advise the British Government, the committee met on a regulär basis for thirty‐seven eventful years (1924‐1961). During that time British coloniai policy underwent moment…
