Education In this video Dr Claire Kennan discusses the expansion of the State’s role in providing elementary education for its citizens, from grants and inspections to the formation of School Boards with the power to raise funds through local rates to establish their own schools. This video ends with Forster’s landmark Education Act of 1870 but other important late nineteenth and early twentieth century milestones included: Education Act 1881 Building on the Education Act passed in 1876 that established School Attendance Committees, designed to encourage parents to send their children to school, the 1881 Act made attendance at elementary schools compulsory for all children aged 5-10. School fees, typically three pence a week, still presented a barrier for many poorer families. The Fee Grant Act 1891 This Act, in practice, made elementary education free. The Education Act 1902 Also known as the Balfour Education Act, this legislation abolished the School Boards and made county and borough councils responsible for the running of both Voluntary and former Board Schools and for organising secondary and technical education. Voluntary Schools and existing secondary schools, mostly grammars, were also allowed money from the local rates to help improve standards. As with Forster’s Education Act, the Balfour Education Act disappointed Nonconformists as it again provided a State lifeline to Anglican Voluntary Schools through the rates, to which they contributed.

In the early days of the Nigerian scam, the Australian government estimated that victims of the scam lost about $55 million per year in that country alone. While computer users are becoming much more savvy, so too are the scammers. A more recent twist on the scam is setting up an internet romance and convincing the poor person who thinks he or she is about to meet their loving partner to help out with travel costs. The person never arrives, of course, once the money has been wired.
