secondary education compulsory up to age 14 and gave responsibility for secondary schools to the state. Under the Act, many higher elementary schools and endowed grmmar schools became state funded central schools or secondary schools. However, most children attended primary (elementary) school up until age 14, rather than going to a separate school for secondary education.

split between primary education and secondary education at age 11, suggested the raising of the school-leaving age to 15, provided 3 stages of education: primary, secondary and further education.
