First and foremost, one must look at the great liberal reforms of the 19th Century, enacted during both the first and second ministry of William Gladstone. Vincent, claims that, such reforms that, "Maximised individuality," were, "genuinely liberal." The first reform that most clearly emancipates the individual during Gladstone 's premiership was the Elementary Education Act of 1870. This as Heywood argues was seen as a way out in the 19th Century form the, "Spread of slums, poverty, ignorance and disease." The act established the English elementary schooling system, as children up to the age of 12 were made to attend primary school. It created a codified curriculum with six 'standards ' or ages 5-12. Strict punishments were laid upon parents who refused to send their children to school. Whilst, this bill created the provision of elementary education in the United Kingdom, it also led to many problems as the new compulsory schools…
Under the act voluntary schools were left unchanged and local education boards were set up to create schools where there was a gap. The local education boards were to inspect the new schools to ensure that high standards of education were met. The schools were publically funded however if parents could afford to pay for their child’s education then they were expected to do so.…
‘In Britain, free compulsory education conducted in formal institutions staffed by full time professionals began in 1870’ (Haralambos, M, 1995, p.725) this was when The Forster’s Education Act 1870 came into place, in 1880 attendance became compulsory until the age of ten followed by The Fisher Education Act of 1918 making attendance compulsory until the age of fourteen, 1947 saw this raised to fifteen and finally in 1972 this was raised to sixteen.…
Historically, in Britain formal schooling was a preserve of higher social classes. Education was largely provided by private institutions, such as churches form the middle ages onwards, with an aim to provide the bureaucratic elite with a means to run government. The state first assumed full responsibility for education in 1870, with the Foster 's Education Act. In 1880, school attendance was made compulsory up to the age of 10, ensuring basic primary education for all. (Haralambos and Holborn, 2004) The state took responsibility for secondary education with the Fisher Education Act of 1918 and attendance was made compulsory until the age of 14. The formal leaving age was raised again on two occasions, in 1947 to 15, and to 16 in 1972. By 1900 only 1.2 per cent of pupils stayed in education after the age of 17 and by 1939, 5.8 per cent of pupils stayed in education past the age of 17, but it was not until the 1960s, when polytechnic universities were introduced, that everyone capable of benefiting from higher education was able to attend a higher education establishment. (Haralambos and Holborn, 2004) However, Margaret Thatcher 's Conservative government of the 1980s began to view education in terms of the needs of the economy and started to reduce state economic investment. Thatcher 's government had a…
The term Early Adopters was first introduced by Everett M. Rogers in his book “Diffusions of Innovations” 1962, where he categorized rate of adoption by 5 groups – innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards. This block will attempt to find innovators in the consumption of chocolates, a key dimension in the profile of our target market.…
It took the industrial revolution before education was made compulsory because the revolution highlighted the issues of child labour and many different child labour protection acts were passed. These acts led to an alternative action of education for children instead and so the education act of 1870 was passed which gave education to all classes.…

I believe that while education should be developed around the current status of society, it should be catered around individual’s habits, interests, and capacities. Education is directly related to social situations; therefore, one’s characteristics must be used in ways that help one succeed in social settings. Both formal and informal education is used to train individual’s to have himself or herself full of information and ready to use that information and judgment in certain situations.…
The present society commences calling attention to the individual development that guides suggestions of education reformation we normally know the individual education, which is to exclusively cater for every distinctive student. This revolutionary education method indeed has its redeeming features, yet I have my reservations. What I think through over and over again is its efficiency of achieving a balanced basic knowledge and cultivating a qualified sociable people.…

A major turning point in the Irish education system was the introduction of free education into this country. This allowed everyone the right and opportunity to education despite their background or social class. While in the past only the rich could afford to educate their children and very few working class children had the opportunity to continue onto secondary school, if even finish primary school. Education stopped people from moving upwards in an already class divided society. Normally a working class child was only sent to primary school for a few years until they reached a suitable age to start working. However this changed drastically with the introduction of free fees for second level education in 1967 and free third level fees in 1995, in an attempt by the government to create a more skilled and educated work force. These free fees allowed people who previously wouldn 't have been able to afford to continue their education to second and third level to do so. Giving young people the chance to get qualifications also allowed them to move up the class ladder. Today in Ireland 52% of secondary school leavers attend some third level institution. However there is an argument that these free fees only benefit those who can take advantage of them. It is argued that poorer people still can 't afford to send their children to post primary institutes and in particular onto third level due to increasing costs…
I cannot write this essay without reference to study of my own experienced and my daughter’s- placed in the harsh environment of the government schooling system and its observations of the stark belief systems of “the child to fit the system” and not “the system to fit the child” with reference to the what education should be about. This means different things to different people. To some this means a teacher teaching and passive learning taking place, the outcome is expected at the end of each year that each child has to achieve the same outcome and is graded accordingly.…
Nowadays, education seems like a lifeboat waving in a person’s life. In general, the most arguable topic of education is that if schools should push students harder in order to get better grade. However, after reading the articles about educational ways, schools are trying to give a easier life of studying to students, which is less traditional education, in order to development students' talent. Thus in my opinion, the life of a student today is easier than 50 years ago.…
