Background introduction:

/kloc-in the second half of the 0/8th century, Britain started the industrial revolution and achieved success. However, people's educational development is very backward. The British government has a tradition of non-interference in people's primary education, and regards education as a charity and a private matter of the people. However, the population explosion caused by the industrial revolution and the emergence of a large number of child laborers have made people's primary education level far lower than that of emerging capitalist countries, such as the United States and Germany.

1944 was adopted by the British Parliament. Proposed by Education Minister Butler. A total of 122.
