  Education Act 1944 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This Act, commonly named after the Conservative politician Rab Butler, introduced the “Tripartite System” of secondary education and made secondary education free for all pupils.
The Act renamed the Board of Education as the Ministry of Education, giving it greater powers and a bigger budget; ended fee-paying for state secondary schools; and enforced the division between primary (5-11 years old) and secondary (11-15 years old) that many local authorities had already introduced.
This Act also introduced compulsory prayer into all state-funded schools on a daily basis - and this clause was amended in 1988, when the prayer was reinforced to be of a Christian message and that it could now take place in classes, rather than the previous system of conducting worship in assemblies.
