Established State responsibility for secondary education
Old school boards were abolished and responsibility for the financing and running of secondary schools transferred to the 140 newly created Local Education Authorities, run by country and country borough councils
LEAs were authorised to build new secondary schools
Provision of money from the local rates could also be used for the Church schools that were included in the reform, but still retained a measure of independence
Children from working and lower middle class families could now benefit from an education beyond primary level, for a small weekly fee
Established a national system of secondary education
