Congregational Board of Education

The Congregational Board of Education was set up in 1843 "to promote popular education, partaking of a religious character and under no circumstances receiving aid from public money administered by Government" (extract from original rules). == The earlier Congregational Fund Board == An earlier organisation – the Independent or Congregational Fund Board – was established in 1695 to assist poor ministers and to give young men who had already received a classical education, the theological and other training preparatory to the Christian ministry.
