	Education in Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Protestant Reformation brought the reshaping of the national Church of Scotland and in January 1561 John Knox and a small group of clergymen set out a national programme for spiritual reform, including the "virtuous education and godly upbringing of the youth of this Realm" with a schoolmaster to be appointed to every church.
		Education finally became compulsory for all children aged between 5 and 13 with the Education (Scotland) Act 1872.
		The Education (Scotland) Act 1918 renamed the Scottish Education Department and introduced state funding of Catholic schools which kept their distinct religious education, access to schools by priests and requirement that school staff be acceptable to the Church.

		Section 14 of the Standards in Scotland’s Schools etc. Act 2000 (asp 6) provides for guidance to be issued ‘as to the circumstances in which parents may choose to educate their children at home’, and requires education authorities to ‘have regard to any such guidance’.

		Education authorities have a duty to identify and address those needs in respect of children for whose school education they are responsible.

	BBC NEWS \| Education \| UK Systems \| Scotland
		Scotland's education system has marked differences to that in the rest of the United Kingdom, a divergence which could grow greater under the Scottish Parliament.
		An Act passed in 1872 transferred responsibility for Scottish education from the churches to elected school boards, providing compulsory education for children between the ages of five and 13, and evening schools for older children.
		Church schools which have chosen to transfer to the education authority, rather than be independent, became "public schools" (the term used in Scotland for maintained or state schools), although they can make separate arrangements for denominational instruction.

		The education authority has a duty to act if it is not satisfied a child is receiving an appropriate education in much the same way as the Social Work Department is obliged to act if a child is not been properly cared for.
