The Otago Education Board came into being in 1856 and took on responsibility for organising public primary schooling in the region. After the abolition of the provinces and the passing of the Education Act of 1877, the national government became responsible for education, but much of this continued to be managed via regional education boards, including the Otago Education Board. The boards were abolished under the Education Act 1989.
