The UK Education Act refers to a series of laws aimed at regulating and improving education in the United Kingdom. The most notable is the Education Act 1944, which established free secondary education and introduced the concept of compulsory schooling for children up to the age of 15. This act also aimed to ensure that all children had access to quality education, regardless of their background. Subsequent Education Acts have continued to shape the educational landscape, addressing issues such as school funding, special educational needs, and the establishment of Academies and Free Schools. These laws reflect ongoing efforts to adapt the education system to meet the needs of a changing society.
