The 1870 act: The first piece of legislation to deal with the provision of education in Britain. The boards in the act provided elementary education for children aged 5-12.
The 1880 further education act: This made school attendance compulsory for children between ages 5-10.
The 1944 act: This provided free education for all. The local education authorities (LEA) established three types of schooling such as grammar, secondary modern and technical. Children were allocated to their type based on a specific examination from the age of 11. The aim of this was to provide equal opportunities for children of any background. However many argued this division instead by seperating pupils based on their abilities. The school leaving age was also raised to 15.
