And Education: About 70 colleges and education universities offer programs to train health education teachers, and education the profession is growing. Members of the profession feel strongly that health education should not be considered a part of physical education and education that physical education should not be a branch of health education. Some high schools now give a half year to physical education and education a half year to health instruction.
Forster's Education Act 1870, which heralded compulsory state education, made provision for school boards to ensure attendance but they were not compelled to do so, though later Acts strengthened this aspect. More recent Education Acts, however, have reinstated the right of parents to opt to educate their children 'at home', though this has often been made difficult and education met with social and education administrative disapprobation. This was enshrined in the Education Act 1944 where the term 'education otherwise' was coined, and education again in Section 7 of the Education Act 1996 which states:
In medieval Europe, citizenship education was tied closely to the church and education to religious education, a characteristic that has persisted. In some Protestant areas of Germany, for example, Lutheran influence is reflected in provisions for religious instruction. In Spain and education in Italy the state and education the Catholic church have been partners in education for centuries. Such religious influence in public education has declined, however, in a number of countries.
