Source 16 supports the statement by saying ‘In 1870, the Government made elementary education up to the age of 13 compulsory for all children.’ This shows that by opening education to all children aged 13 and below, they had approached the problem of uneducated children especially boys from falling into lower classes. Source 17 also agrees, ‘Before 1870, education was not compulsory and it was not free.’ The government had then opened a branch for the lower classes to become educated and somehow improve their quality of life. By opening up school board and creating new schools, it meant that fees were eventually to be taken off, when after the 1902 education act, schools that were receiving state funding had to offer 25% of all places without fees. Gladstone the prime minister at the time believed in equality of opportunity, so over the coming years, showed open support about children receiving open education for all ages. He openly says about passing the political power to an uneducated nation and improving people’s quality of life, therefore showing support.
The Year-Round School Debate Year-round school (YRS) episodically surfaces as a subject of school reform. Interestingly enough this is not a new topic of debate; however, the reasons for implementing the reform have changed some. Year-round schools do not require the children to increase the number of days they attend school, the days are just dispersed more evenly throughout the year. As Hermansen (1971) states the concept of YRS has been around since at least 1840 when many major cities had school years ranging from forty-three to fifty weeks. These mostly industrialized cities had an enormous need for children to learn English.
There are always going to be rules for the safety of the class and dance classes are no exception. When I teach Kizomba, I need to first create a safe place for my classes. Health and Safety rules are covered by the risk assessment done on arrival, i.e. clear floor space, no obstructions, clean toilet facilities etc. I would also establish a system whereby my students complete a record card or form detailing name, contact information and any other relevant information such as medical needs.
EMA are paid weekly to students that come from low income background. This move was invented in order to give equal opportunities to materially and culturally deprived family back grounds so that their achievement levels improve within the academic. Other policy such as Compensatory education policies (CEP’s) was introduced by Tony Blair in 1997 and was aimed to extend the academic period among school children from the age of 16 to the age of 18. This policy was aimed to reduce the socio-economic disadvantages which could include restricting equal educational opportunities from students from culturally deprived background originally focusing on working class children in UK. There are two arguments within the educational system;
On the one hand, sociologists agree educational reforms have helped all students. One reason for this is because in 1870, the Foster Act allowed free elementary (primary) education. Government used taxes from the rich to educate all, even working class who found it hard to afford. At 1994, the Butler Act was commenced where the Tripartite Education system allowed free secondary education. Also the 11+ exam where it allocated the students into a certain type of school they were sent to, either Grammar, Technical or Secondary Morden School, based on their results.
These are all services which are provided to us and have to be by Law. According to Meggitt et.al (2000 page 237) “Since 1944, schooling has been compulsory for all children between the ages of 5 and 15 (in 1972 the school-leaving age was increased to 16).” Children under 5 years of age would be either attending a nursery or a playgroup which is provided by the government and is paid for through taxes. Both nursery and playgroup offer a safe environment
Equality, diversity and inclusion in work with children and young people Understand the importance of promoting equality and diversity in work with children and young people. 1.1 Identify the current legislations and codes of practice relevant to the promotion of equality and valuing of diversity. Every school/ nurseries must produce a range of policies outlining the procedures and guidelines of promoting equality in the school, taking into account the rights of all individuals, such as all staff, children and the wider community.

Continue with stages 3 and 4 of the national curriculum. Also provide Key stage 5 post compulsory education up to age 18. The
Children were not only viewed as adults but also portrayed as adults. Victorian paintings often showed children as looking much older, and letters and documents investigated by Philippe Aries confirmed that there was no concept of childhood in this era. The nineteenth century also saw the law change to compulsory education for children, making a distinct divide among adults and children. This gave children not only separate legal status but also a chance to be provided with an education. Laws were also put in place to rule out marriage for children under 12 – a law that had never been imposed before.
This fact alone is reason enough to justify the mandate. Unfortunately with every educational reform and budget cut the worthiness of physical education being taught in the public schools rears its ugly head. This occurs in spite of the fact that the wellness level of future generations depends on learning at an early age that physical activity is necessary, and reinforcing that concept throughout growing and developing years is a must (Status). According to Myra Goodwin, Certified Physical Education Teacher for 25 years, “the government and the administrators of all public schools need to establish Physical Education as a core academic requirement not just for a semester, not just for high school but daily and from Preschool to 12th grade”. Sadly, only 6 states in America require daily Physical Education (Physical).
