| Question | Answer |
| 1944 | - Education was starting to be influenced by the idea of meritocracy. - The 1994 Education Act brought in the Tripartite System. - Introduction of the 11+ exam. |
| What is the Tripartite System? | A system where children would be allocated into one of three types of secondary schools, based upon their abilities and the 11+ exam: Grammar schools, secondary moderns & technical schools. |
| 1965 | Introduction of the Comprehensive system. The eradication of the 11+ exam, secondary moderns and grammar schools. All pupils in the area would attend comprehensive schools instead. |
| What is the Comprehensive System? | A system to overcome class division of the tripartite system and to make the education system more meritocratic. The decision to go comprehensive was left to the local authorities, thus a grammar and secondary modern divide still exists. |
| 1988 | Introduction of Marketisation by the Conservative government (Margaret Thatcher), which became a central theme of the government education policy. |
| What is Marketisation? | Marketisation was a strategy that attempted to create an ‘education market’ by increasing the competition between schools and the parental choices of schools, as well as, reducing the direct state control over education. |
| 1997 - 2010 | The New Labour government introduced policies aiming to reduce the inequalities which marketisation policies brought to the education system. Also, the policies emphasised standards diversity and choice. (New Labour - Tony Blair & Gordon Brown) |
| What are some examples of the policies that The New Labour government brought forward? | - Marking deprived areas as Education Action Zones (providing additional resources). - Aim Higher: To raise the aspirations of groups who are under-represented in higher education. |
| 2010 | The Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government developed marketisation even further by introducing academies and free-school meals. |
| Why were academies and free-school meals introduced? | - To encourage 'excellence, competition and innovation'. - To reduce the role and control of the state over education. |
| 2010 notes | All schools were encourage to leave local authority control and become an academy, where the schools were funded by the state government and were given more control over their curriculum. |
| 2010 notes 2. | Despite being funded by the state, free schools were set up and run by parents, teachers, faith organisations and businesses instead of the local authorities. |
| 2012 notes | Over 1/2 of all schools had converted into an academy status. Some academies are now run by private-educational businesses and are funded directly by the state. |
