| Description | In 1898, the Midland Adult School Union along with Leceistershire, Somerset, London and Norfolk Adult School Unions agreed to form a national federation with the aim of advancing adult school work and creating a united executive body to deal with affairs which affected the whole adult school movement. Initially known as the National Council of Adult School Associations, its first meeting took place in Leicester in December 1899, with William White in the Chair.
From 1906, the National Adult School Organisation had offices in Bournville, but in 1913 it moved to London and remained there until 1980 when it moved back to Birmingham. It briefly shared offices with the Midland Adult School Union before moving to Norfolk House on Smallbrook Queensway. The Organisation closed in 2010.
