Replaced by the Equalities Act of 2010 (drafted by Harriet Harman)... the first reading took place in April 2010 which was a Labour Government but enacted in Oct 2010 under the coalition ...... it was however an EU directive so the Conservatives didnt really have a choice... they did however attempt to weaken the act in 2012 - 2013 but the changesl didnt make it through Parliament

The Butler Education Act was enacted in 1944 and not by a Labour Gov. Disability Discrimination Act = DDA btw. If we could just get people to tell the truth maybe better solutions could be found.

Education Act

The 1944 Education Act was a major change to the education system of England and Wales. It introduced secondary education for all, raised the school leaving age to 15, and provided school meals and milk for all children. Alongside the 1946 National Health Service Act, the Education Act is widely regarded as one of the original pillars of the welfare state. It is perhaps ironic, then, that the Act was pushed through Parliament by a Conservative Minister, R.A. Butler.

A Conservative may have been the principal sponsor of the Education Act, but it was to be the Labour government of 1945-51 which was to oversee its implementation. A ‘crash course' teacher training certificate was introduced to train the new teachers needed, and a massive new school building programme undertaken. A ‘tripartite' system of secondary education was introduced, with grammar schools for those deemed to be academically able, secondary modern schools to teach ‘practical' subjects, and secondary technical schools to offer mechanical, scientific and engineering skills. An ‘eleven plus' aptitude test taken by all children at age 11 would decide which school a child attended.

Even this piece of ridiculous propaganda shows that when you say the Butler Education Act 1944 was enacted in 1947 and was introduced by a Labour government you were just telling stupid lies. The extract you have the foolishness to paste on here is from a production of the Communist founded and funded Working Class Movement Library. It is a crass distortion of historical fact to state "It is perhaps ironic, then, that the Act was pushed through Parliament by a Conservative Minister, R.A. Butler." The Labour Party have a fantastic record of introducing progressive social legislation since founding the NHS but to claim they have a monopoly on all of it is just absurd and undermines their true achievements. Wake up and grow up.

Do you think incorporating a previous piece of legislation into a new act somehow detracts from the original's significance and merit? Selective ignorance is unfortunately the trademark of all extremists.
