Education in the United States
In 1965, the far-reaching Elementary and Secondary Education Act ('ESEA'), passed as a part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty, provided funds for primary and secondary education ('Title I funding'). Title VI explicitly forbade the establishment of a national curriculum. Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 created the Pell Grant program which provides financial support to students from low-income families to access higher education.
Education Act 1964
The Education Act 1964 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It made provisions in two areas which were previously not permitted by the Education Act 1944. These provisions included the setting up of Middle Schools, and the funding of education for pupils in Special Schools beyond compulsory school age.
