教育バウチャー
教育バウチャーの導入は安倍内閣による教育改革の目玉として2006年の自民党総裁選の争点の一つにもなり、その後、安倍内閣が設置した教育再生会議においてバウチャー制度の導入が検討された。しかし、「教育格差を拡大させる」として文部科学省から慎重論が出たことや安倍晋三の辞任により、事実上見送られた。
イングランドの教育史
The Education Act 1944, relating to England and Wales, was authored by Rab Butler and is sometimes known as "the Butler Act". It defined the modern split between primary education and secondary education at age 11, and provided for the raising of the school leaving age to 15. The Act established the "Tripartite System". It defined the grammar school as the place of education for the academically gifted (with entrance determined by a selection exam. Initially this was the "Scholarship" exam, which was later replaced by a "Grading Test" which was then subsequently replaced by the 11+ examination. Children who did not pass the selection test attended technical schools or secondary modern schools.
