Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The Association of Directors and Secretaries for Education was formed after the Education Act 1902 had created elected local education authorities in England and Wales. It addressed issues of recruitment, qualification, experience and professionalism for local education officers and administrators. In 1946 it was reorganised as the Association of Education Officers and, in 1970, it merged with the Association of Chief Education Officers to form the Society of Education Officers. The National Association of Education Officers, formed in 1908, also represented local authority education officers, and later met jointly with ADSE.
