Student enrolment numbers became linked to school funding. Schools also began to be funded by central government instead of local governing bodies.

The 1993 Education Act (27 July 1993) was the largest piece of legislation in the history of education. Its first five parts covered:

  • I Responsibility for education (roles of the secretary of state and funding authorities; new rules about school places, admissions and religious education);
  • II Grant-maintained schools (changes in funding and new rules to make it easier for schools to become grant-maintained);
  • III Children with special educational needs (legal definition, Code of Practice on the Identification and Assessment of Special Educational Needs - came into force in 1994);
  • IV School attendance (attendance orders, parental choice of school);
  • V Schools failing to give an acceptable standard of education('special measures').
Part VI Miscellaneous covered a huge range of matters including:
  • establishment of new schools by local authorities and other 'promoters';
  • nursery education in grant-maintained schools;
  • rationalisation of school places;
  • incorporation of governing bodies;
  • the right of parents to withdraw a child from sex education lessons except those contained in the National Curriculum - the science curriculum was to be revised to exclude anything on HIV and AIDS, other sexually transmitted diseases, and aspects of human sexual behaviour;
  • the abolition of the National Curriculum Council (NCC) and the School Examinations and Assessment Council (SEAC) and their replacement by the School Curriculum and Assessment Authority (SCAA);
  • agreed syllabuses for religious education to be reviewed;
  • new rules on pupil exclusions;
  • provision of information about city technology colleges;
  • admission appeals committees;
  • revision of local management funding schemes;
  • clarification of the period of compulsory schooling (5-16);
  • education support grants;
  • charges for musical instrument tuition;
  • assistance for voluntary schools;
  • amendment of the Education (No. 2) Act 1986 (Section 47) to prohibit 'inhuman or degrading' punishments; and
  • abolition of the requirement for local authorities to have education committees.
