Education and popular culture in 1920s America 

Key events in education in the 1920s 

Raised School Leaving Age: The school leaving age was raised from 12 to 14 in 1921, meaning children were legally required to stay in school longer, according to The National Archives.

Secondary Education: There was growing pressure for secondary education, with the Hadow Committee in 1924 advocating for secondary education based on the 11+ exam.

Curriculum Changes: While basic subjects such as reading, writing, and arithmetic remained central, other subjects, including history and science, became more prevalent, and vocational subjects were offered to some students.

Social Inequalities: Working-class children often faced limited opportunities for secondary education, with many remaining at elementary schools until the age of 14.

Role of Teachers: Teachers were seen as evolving into more complex and nurturing professionals.

Increased Enrollment: The number of teachers in elementary schools grew, reflecting the increasing number of students.

Vocational Education: Schools introduced junior technical schools to provide vocational education at the secondary level, though few were established.

Fisher Act (1918): This act made secondary education compulsory up to the age of 14 and transferred responsibility for secondary schools to the state, according to Wikipedia.
