The Central Labour College, also known as The Labour College, was a British higher education institution supported by trade unions. It functioned from 1909 to 1929. It was established on the basis of independent working class education. The college was formed as a result of the Ruskin College strike of 1909.
Its role was to act as a co-ordinating body for the movement of labour colleges, including the Central Labour College. The National Council of Labour Colleges absorbed the Plebs League the year after the 1926 United Kingdom general strike, and continued to publish the Plebs' Magazine.
