history |
Created by the Education (Scotland) Act 1918, this was formerly known as the Scotch Education Department. The Education (Scotland) Act of 1872, although it set up a system of education for the whole of Scotland, left its overall administration to the Scotch (later Scottish) Education Department in London. Local pressure led eventually to the appointment in 1885 of a Secretary of State for Scotland, but the Education Department remained in London almost in its entirety until the 1920s, and it was not until 1939 that its headquarters moved north. |
