Technical Instruction

Technical Instruction. By the repealed (English) Technical Instruction Act, 1889 (52 & 53 Vict. c. 76), technical instruction, i.e., by s. 8, instruction in the principles of science and art applicable to industries, but not including the teaching, the practice of any trade or industry or employment, might be provided by local authorities at the expense of the ratepayers; and by the repealed Technical Instruction Act, 1891 (54 & 55 Vict. c. 4), a local authority might provide for a supply of such instruction in a school outside its own district, so far as necessary for the requirements of its own district, in cases where similar provision could not be so advantageously made by aiding a school within its own district; but these Acts are superseded by the Education Act, 1921, Part VI., and the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1935 (25 & 26 Geo. 5, c. 35), ss. 83 and 113.
