Universal Education

Universal education is a law which issues all children to receive a minimum  primary education before being released to society. How did this law came to be? Why do we need it? Well, those are some questions I will answer right away. The establishment of universal education started out as a pretty long process in England. Back in the 1800s, church schools started to appear that accepts both boys and girls. On 1870, the government addressed the Elementary Education Act 1870 which required board schools to be set up in areas where existing provisions were inadequate. On the 19th century, the Elementary Education Act 1870 was passed and the children were enforced to attend school from between age 5 to ten. Later acts than raise the age level to be 13. The Education Act 1818  enforced compulsory eduction from age 5-14 and the system was official undergo. Schools were set up to educate the children of at least some basic skills, that way, they can improve their lives. It gives poor people a chance to become rich and grants equality to the public. The reason we have universal education was for the same reason. Education, is what changes people from one thing to another. How to end war and animosity? Education. How to stop human trafficking? Education. How to improve society? Education. How to overcome poverty? Education. So therefore, as one can clearly see, universal education is a very important concept indeed.
