Education, Training, Universities - post-WW1

In 1917-18, civil servants began to refer to a national “system” of higher education, words unheard before the war. A new relationship between the universities and the government was emerging.

The war brought an acknowledgement that an emphasis on research would be needed if the economy was to compete effectively. New relationships between universities and industry were forged, stimulated by a new national Committee for Scientific and Industrial Research. Within universities, important issues emerged, including the need to cover the costs of research and to ensure that institutions received due benefit from the commercialisation of research.
