A Level Sociology Education AQA Practice Exam

Education Action Zones were established in the 1990s in the UK with the primary goal of improving the educational outcomes in disadvantaged areas, specifically surrounding schools that were struggling or deemed 'failing'. The initiative aimed to provide extra resources, support, and innovative strategies to enhance the quality of education and student achievement in these underperforming schools. The focus was on collaboration between schools, local communities, and various stakeholders to create a supportive environment that would foster educational improvement. The other options do not accurately reflect the goals of Education Action Zones. Funding economical universities, improving university research output, and establishing private schools do not align with the primary focus of addressing the immediate issues within struggling schools.
