england and wales were slow to introduce compulsory education due to the upper class defending its educational privileges. in england and wales, the elementary education act 1870 paved the way for compulsory education by establishing school boards to set up schools in any places that did not have adequate provision. attendance was made compulsory until age 10 in 1880. the education act of 1996 made it an obligation on parents to require children to have a full-time education from age 5 to 16. however, attendance at school itself is not compulsory: section 7 of the act allows for home education.
