Education for the general population in Wales was limited before the nineteenth century. The British and Foreign Schools Society founded many schools in the early to mid-nineteenth century. In 1870 the Education Act called for the election of school boards in areas where privately organized schools were deficient. Public education to the age of 13 was made compulsory in 1880. | Education for the general population in Wales was limited before the nineteenth century.
