Education

Although Jersey entered the 21st century with an excellent education system, it was not always so. Until the 19th century, education was available only to a very few sons of affluent islanders, despite the best efforts of benefactors who sought to establish schools of quality centuries earlier. Gradually the situation improved and the story of how education developed is a fascinating one. Jerripedia users are invited to make their own contribution to this section.
