William Henry Hadow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir William Henry Hadow was born on the 27 December 1859 at Ebrington, Gloucester, England and died on 8 April 1937 at Westminster, London, England. He was an innovator in education in Great Britain and a musicologist.
He studied at Oxford University where he taught and became Dean (1889). He was Vice-Chancellor of Sheffield University (1919–30), and as chairman of several committees published a series of reports on education, notably The Education of the Adolescent (1926) which called for the re-organization of elementary education, the abandonment of all-age schools, and the creation of secondary modern schools. This became known as the Hadow Report. He was a leading influence in English education at all levels in the 1920s and 1930s.
