The Evolution of Education in the United Kingdom
Education in the United Kingdom has come a long way from what it was in the beginning. The record of education in the UK has been documented from the Saxon settlement and can be traced back to the setting up of the first cathedral schools in 597 and 604. In the early days, most of the education was closely related and linked to religious institutes and this continued till the 19th century. However, during the later parts of the century, charity schools and free grammar schools were open for children belonging to any religious beliefs, and over time, these schools become more popular.
