Endowed Schools Act 1869

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Endowed Schools Act 1869 was introduced in Britain during William Gladstone’s first ministry.

An Endowed Schools Commission was created to draw up new schemes of distribution for schools which received funding from the government;[1] previous endowments had been seen as poorly distributed and badly spent, so the Commission was put in place to ensure that schools had enough money were spending it in appropriate ways.
