UNLOCKING LOCH’S LEGACY IN EDUCATION
Sir Henry Loch

Sir Henry Loch was responsible for many developments and improvements in the Isle of Man during his tenure as Lieutenant Governor.  One of which was undoubtedly the dramatic changes in schools and schooling following his promotion of the Education Act of 1872, yet he is not remembered for this. Here we are all given the opportunity to learn of those great improvements he brought about.
