The document outlines several key education policies in the UK: 1) The 1944 Education Act established the tripartite system which divided students into grammar schools, secondary moderns, and technical schools based on 11+ exam results. 2) The 1988 Education Act introduced league tables, parental choice of schools, national curriculum standards, and regular school inspections. 3) The policy of New Vocationalism from the late 20th century emphasized work experience, vocational qualifications, and key skills to serve industry needs. Private schools are not subject to these government education policies.
