Universal Education in England

In the past, only the rich could afford tutors that could teach students various subjects and topics. Eventually, public education was a law and children of every age must attend school to become educated. Without education, people cannot better jobs and have to work in low wage jobs. In 1870, it became compulsory to attend school in England. The state pays for the education of children from the age of 5 to 16. However, before the government set up rules for mandatory education, churches would teach children education and about the bible. A typical factory worker works 6 days a week, and has Sunday off. On that day, many children go to church to have an education. This was also true even during the medieval ages. The church would teach kids in the medieval ages about religion, writing, reading, math, and many more subjects. I think it is good for the population to have education. Even with a basic level of education, it raises the standard for future generations of children.
