Educational, academic and legal publishing.

Pedersen, Sarah

Abstract

By making education compulsory for children between the ages of 5 and 13, the 1870 Education and 1872 (Scotland) Education Acts established the beginnings of a modern education system in Britain – and offered increased opportunity for educational publishers. The 1872 Act established a non-sectarian system of public schooling under the control of popularly elected school boards and subject to the Scotch Education Department, based in Whitehall in London.
