Description
Introduction Cyril Jackson (later Sir) became Inspector-General of Schools for Western Australia in late 1896. By the time he left to take up the position of Chief Inspector of Elementary Schools in England and Wales in 1903, Jackson had reorganised the Western Australian education system so completely that it was recognised as 'equal to, if not the best, system in Australia'. (1) A large part of that credit stemmed from his ability to focus the elementary curriculum on the economic needs of the colony using the 'new education' and advocating use of H.M. Schools' Inspector Thomas Godolphin Rooper's rural curriculum.
