I’m in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge for the month of April. I need your help! To meet this challenge, I’ll be doing one post a day, working through the alphabet.
Your job is to comment and keep me motivated! Let me know you’re out there and following along. Can she make it? Will she? Of course she will! With you as my cheering section, I won’t be stumped by J or Q or even X.
So without further ado, here is today’s post.
S is for schooling.
The first university in Scotland was established in 1413 at the University of St. Andrews. It is the third oldest university in the English-speaking world.
The first compulsory schooling in Scotland was mandated by James IV in the 15th Century!
The Education Act 1496 was enacted by the Parliament of Scotland and made schooling compulsory for the first time for male children of Scottish nobility and large landholders. It mandated the study of Latin, law and the arts, and was intended to ensure that local authorities were competent to deal with local problems.
