ABSTRACT
The first issue is therefore to decide what exactly is meant by the term ‘education’ in the context of the law of charities. Clearly trusts purposes involving schools and universities would fall within the analogous cases to the preamble of the 1601 statute. The contexts in which there is greater confusion surround trusts set up for the study of more esoteric subjects, or even simply to advance an ideological position, which are not annexed to any accepted educational institution.
