History of Education System

Since Britain was the first country started to industrialize, we will use England as the instance for the education system. During the 18th and mid-19 century, the education of Britain was uncomplusary, and it costed money for education. In 1880, there was the elementary education act, which was the act that required kids have education from 5 years old to age of 10. I think this is for helping the children to have the basic of living in this society. Later, it raised to 11 and 13 years old. During the 20th century, the age for required education continue to rise. In 1964, the government decided to raise the compulsary education act up to 16 years old. I think the government wants all the students to have education, because the students have the equal rights to get a job, and being a successful person. The act of complusary education is to help students to have a better life.
