A: 1870, the British Parliament officially promulgated the Primary Education Act (also known as the Foster Act). This marks the formal formation of the British national education system. The Law on Primary Education stipulates the following contents: (1) The state continues to subsidize education and set up public schools in areas lacking schools; The state still retains the auxiliary right and supervision right of national education, especially primary education; (2) Divide the whole country into several school districts, and the elected "Academic Affairs Committee" is responsible for supervising the education work in this school district. The local education bureau can dominate local education and admit that British private education institutions are a type of national education; (3) Each school district has the right to implement universal compulsory education for children aged five to twelve; (4) schools established or managed by various churches are recognized as national educational institutions; (5) Secular subjects and religious subjects in schools are separated. All schools receiving public subsidies are not allowed to force students to study specific religious teachings, while general religious teaching must be arranged in the first or last class to help students make their own choices between attending classes or not. 1870 The Primary Education Act is of great significance in the development of primary education in Britain. Of course, this only applies to the children of working people. Upper-class children still receive preparatory education for entering middle school mainly at home or in preparatory schools.
