when was the elementary and secondary education act created
Elementary and Secondary Education Act President Johnson signed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act into law two days later on April 9, 1965.[4]
Raising of school leaving age in England and Wales In 1944, Rab Butler introduced the Education Act 1944 which amongst other changes, including the introduction of the Tripartite System, included raising the school leaving age to 15. Although the act should have been brought into effect as from September 1939, it was not implemented because of the effects of World War II, but was eventually enforced from April 1947.[7][3] The Comprehensive school system has since replaced the Tripartite System brought in by this act across most of England.[11] This act also recommended compulsory part-time education for all children until the age of 18, but was dropped, in similar fashion to the 1918 Act, to cut spending after World War II.[9]
