Education (Schools) Act 1992
Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Education (Schools) Act 1992 (c. 38) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which set up a system of school inspections by the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted). The reports written by independent inspection teams and published by Ofsted are made public and the inspections are carried out according to a National Framework to ensure consistency across the country. Subsequently the legislation was brought together in the School Inspections Act 1996 that designated it to be a six-year cycle.[1]
