Council of Public Education, 1927-1933
- Component identifier:
- Series 59
- Content Summary:
-
The Council of Public Education was established in Victoria in 1928 in accordance with the Education Act, 1928, to establish and administer standards of teacher qualification and examinations in primary and secondary schools. Its members represented the Department of Education, registered schools, teacher education, education in music, and industrial interests. Copland was a member representing the University of Melbourne between 1928 and 1933 and also joined several committees including its subcommittee on standards for the registration of teachers of commercial subjects.
What little the Copland collection has on this aspect of Copland's work has been gathered to form Series 59. There is some correspondence, principally with the Council Registrar R.H Croll, Council circulars, and papers on the Council Registration Committee.
- Immediate source of acquisition:
- Lady Copland presented the personal papers of Sir Douglas Copland to the National Library in September 1973. Additions to the collection were received from the Copland Family between 1977 and 1981.
