Schools during Queen Victoria's reign were not free until 1891, and prior to that law children had to pay to attend. However, Victoria oversaw many improvements to children's education, especially for poor children, including establishing the idea that all children should attend school and implementing regulations on child labor. The Victorians introduced laws defining appropriate work expectations for children and inspections to ensure schools maintained sufficient standards of education, since most children in early Victorian England received no schooling and could not read or write.

children to do. In early
Victorian England, most children never
went to school at all and grew up unable to

SCHOOL?

it was important for people to be able to
read and write and education became more
important.
