The Education Act of 1496 was passed by the Parliament of Scotland in that year at the behest of James IV. It made schooling compulsory for the first time in Scotland since it forced all nobles and freeholders to educate their eldest sons in Latin, followed by the Arts, and Scots law.
The children had to be sent to a grammar school to be taught Latin when they reached the age of eight or nine. Once they had learned Latin, they had to attend a school of Art or of Law for a minimum of three years after that.
The intention was to ensure that the courts and local government would be run by more educated people than had been the case previously. In order to ensure compliance, it was ordained that a fine of forty Scots pounds would be levied on anyone who did not obey.

The Education Act of 1998 was a bowl of wheat puffs. Fluffy, slightly crispy, all around ymuuy, until milk was poured over its edges, and soggied up the place. Milk is a good thing, don't get me wrong... but if Rexxy barks twice, give him the green biscuit.
Education Act 1944
The Education Act 1944 changed the education system for secondary schools in England and Wales. This Act, commonly named after the Conservative politician Rab Butler, introduced the “Tripartite System” of secondary education and made secondary education free for all pupils.
The tripartite system consisted of three different types of secondary school: grammar schools;
secondary technical schools; and secondary modern schools.
To assess which pupils should attend which school, they took an exam known as the 11 plus. The system was intended to allocate pupils to the schools best suited to their “abilities and aptitudes”, but in practice the number of grammar schools, for the academically inclined, remained unchanged, and few technical schools were ever established. As a result, most pupils went to secondary modern schools, whether they were suitable or not, while most funding went to grammar schools.
The Act renamed the Board of Education as the Ministry of Education, giving it greater powers and a bigger budget; ended fee-paying for state secondary schools; and enforced the division between primary (5-11 years old) and secondary (11-15 years old) that many local authorities had already introduced. It also proposed raising the school-leaving age to 16, a measure that was not followed through until 1972; and provided for community colleges, offering education for both children and adults, a measure that was never followed through except in Cambridgeshire.
