Educational policy
- The development
of state education.
- Phase 1: The middle class
received an academic
education for future careers,
while the working class had
elementary schooling in
basic skills and left school
early to work in factories.
- Phase 3: The Education Reform
Act. Introduced marketisation.
- Phase 2: The tripartite
system used the 11+ exam to
allocate pupils to secondary
school. This channelled
middle class students into
grammar schools and
working class into
non-academic education.
- Phase 2.5: In 1965 the
comprehensive system was
introduced, replacing most grammar
and secondary modern, and having
schools based on catchment area.
- However,
schools still put
their students
into streams,
keeping the
working class in
lower streams.
- Marketisation
policies.
