Birmingham Education Act 1902

The Birmingham Education Act of 1902 was a significant piece of legislation in the UK that aimed to improve education across Birmingham. It established a centralized system of education by replacing the old school boards with local education authorities, allowing for better organization and funding of schools. The Act also expanded access to education by including secondary schools and increased government funding for education, which meant more resources for teachers and facilities. This reform was part of a broader movement to enhance public education in England, making it more equitable and effective for all children.
