Civic Education Programmes: It is arguable that the effect of this difference lies not so much in the overt 'content' of RE syllabuses on the one hand or civic education programmes on the other, but rather more in the implicit values which the two channels mediate: the one emphasising the moral development and spiritual awareness of each individual child, the other stressing the rights and duties of 'the citizen', whoever, whatever, wherever they may be.
It is certainly true that there are differences between the curriculum offered to French pupils and the present form of the primary cur¬riculum in England. In particular there is the complete absence of reli¬gious education in France, which has always been banned in state schools, and the inclusion of civic education right from the beginning stages of elementary education. The situation in England is of course the reverse.See Also Universal Education Diminished:There has never been a time when all parents have been in agree¬ment with what all schools have had to offer their children. The estab¬lishment of universal education diminished the power of all parents to determine what their children learnt, particularly for those who had no capacity to opt for any other route to knowledge.
Primary Schools. In England the act of 1870 laid the groundwork for a system of universal education, but it provided for instruction only of children less than 13 years of age. Attendance did not become compulsory until 1880, and though free education was given in most ele¬mentary schools after 1891, fee paying was not completely abolished until 1918. The act that forbade fees also made education to the age of 14 compulsory.
On The Other Hand See Scottish Education Department:Education.—Although Scottish education department education h a long history before the Reformation, the R formers' First Book of Discipline gave it impeti It was impossible to carry out the new ideals the 16th century, but the church continued to t: to establish a school in every parish.

Successive acts have in effei created a comprehensive national system of edua tion under the ultimate control of the Scottish education department Edt cation Department (see section 7.

Until recently Dr Richard Bailey was a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Education at Christ Church University College. He is now in the Department of Science and Technology Education at the University of Reading, where he teaches in the area of Physical Education. His primary research interests concern the contributions the biological sciences can make to education, especially in the early years. Current projects include the evolutionary nature of children's play and children's physiological responses to physical activity. |
