Primary education is free and compulsory from age 5 to 1 1．Secondary education，which is organized in a variety of ways，is provided by LEAs for children aged 11 to 19；it is free and compulsory to age l6(the minimum leaving age being raised from l5 in l972)．Teachers employed by the LEAs are paid on an agreed national scale．Primary and secondary education is financed almost entirely by the state out of central and local tax revenues．
Under the l944 act children were examined at age 11(the so-called eleven plus)，on the basis of which they were assigned either to grammar schools，which prepared them for higher education，or to secondary modern schools，which they usually left at the minimum leaving age．often without having passed public examinations or having been awarded a certificate．In 1964 the Labour government reorganized secondary education on comprehensive lines；that is，each school accepted pupils of all abilities．The eleven plus was abolished in many areas，and the great majority of children now go to comprehensive schools．
The Education Reform Act of l988 brought about substantial changes．Of its Drovisions fbr schools，five were particularly important．It laid on the secretary of state a duty to establish a national curriculum(教学大纲)，applicable to all state schools；introduced a svstem bv which individual schools controlled their own management and finance；and permitted schools to apply to get out of control by local authorities．In addition，schools were required not overly to restrict numbers，and the Inner London Education Authority，which provided education in the inner London areas，was abolished．
