Local management of schools (LMS) was introduced.At each key stage a number of educational objectives were to be achieved. 'Key Stages' (KS) were introduced in schools.Secondary schools also had limited selection powers at the age of 11. Primary and secondary schools could, under this provision, remove themselves fully from their respective local education authorities and would be completely funded by central government. Grant-maintained schools (GMS) were introduced. Controls on the use of the word 'degree' were introduced with respect to UK bodies.The successor to this programme was the establishment of Academies. There were only 15 schools that were eventually set up. There was also a requirement for partial private funding. Financial control would be handed to the head teacher and governors of a school. This part of the Act allowed new more autonomous schools to be taken out of the direct financial control of Local Authorities.
