* Human right Act 1998 The United Nations first set a standard on human rights in 1948 with the universal declaration of Human rights. This was accepted by many countries around the world and highlighted the principal that all humans have same right and should be treated equally. * SEN code practice 2001 The special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 (SENDA) strengthened the right of parents and SEN children to a mainstream education. It made significant changes to the educational opportunities that are available to the children with disabilities and special education needs. This means that it is more likely for these children to be in mainstream schools.
I believe that Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Rush sparked the ideas for the future, with Horace Mann as the engineer who created the mold of the two ideas into a whole common idea. Structure and discipline for the child in school will bring a well-rounded American. Public education opened up more opportunity for women to be independent , it also paved the way for poor whites and blacks to better educated well rounded citizens in which I believed paved the way for everyone to be considered the same for the
NCLB set forth a certain criteria to be met, but allowed the states to determine how they would accomplish it. Therefore, each state handles assessment and accountability differently. This makes it hard to show success or failure of the programs. Supporters and critics alike can cite research that supports their opinion. My opinion of NCLB is it is flawed, developmentally inappropriate, ill funded, ←and→ leaving more students, teachers, ←and→ schools behind than ever before because The tests have turned into the objective of classroom instruction rather than the measure of teaching ←and→ learning.

This law was one that every parent of a handicapped child was waiting for. It was a huge deal to everyone. This law was giving children with disabilities rights to the American lexicon, also known as FAPE. FAPE stands for “ free appropriate public education”. Which just means that all handicapped children have a right to the right education with no extra charge to them.
With all groups linked together, working with the same child will mean that the child will learn more effectively. Information is encouraged to be shared with the children and families. Whatever their backgrounds, all children and families are now given the access to affordable quality childcare. Over time, early years policies and frameworks emerge and change in response to current influences. There has been much more political focus on childcare and education in the last 15 years, resulting in a rapid expansion of early years provisions.
The SEN and disability act makes it unlawful for schools to discriminate against children with SEN or disability. Race relations act places a duty on schools to eliminate any sort of race discrimination and promote good relationships between all children from all races by educating them and explaining that there are different races but we are all equal.

The equality act sets out legal responsibilities to all public sectors and schools to provide and promote equality of opportunity for all children and adults making sure that everybody is given the same choices of all that school has to offer regardless of their age, race, religion, sexuality or gender. 1.2 Explain the importance of promoting the rights of all children and young people to participation and equality of access It is important to support participation and equality of access so that every pupil
This means that everyone has an opportunity to learn the same things and there are equal rights for all. The introduction of free education for all in 1891 helped in the creation of the National Curriculum, as there was no longer the divide between classes in society. However; the school leaving age at this time was 11 years. After World War 1, the government condemned Britons as physically unfit, which prompted the decade of getting fit! Shortly after this, in 1919, the Education Act was introduced into school which raised the compulsory attendance age from 11 to 14 years.
Four months after sweeping to power, the new Labour Government published this far-seeing Green Paper on special education and gave major support for all mainstream schools to become much more inclusive. It opened with ' … Where all children are included as equal partners in the school community, the benefits are felt by all … we are committed to comprehensive and enforceable civil rights for disabled people'. It prompted a high level, national debate and appeared to herald a new dawn with its heavyweight support for inclusive
