What work did Sidney Webb do on the London County Council?

Sidney Webb served on the London County Council from 1892 to 1910, where he focused heavily on educational reform. He is best remembered for creating the system of secondary state schools and establishing a scholarship program for elementary school pupils. Additionally, he played an instrumental role in developing technical and post-school education throughout London.1
