History
The Magical Education Mandate first came into effect in 1932 because of a plea set out by Khloe Garnett. As a part of her job, Khloe worked in a magical orphanage, where she saw older children receive no magical education. After seeing many of these children struggle to control their magic, Khloe believed that every magical child should undergo five years of education to avoid the many great catastrophes that could take place. At the time, children under the age of 11 were not required to attend a magical school, but many parents still sent their children to one.
At first, the idea for this bill caused many angry citizens. Many parents believed that it should be their choice whether they want to send the child to a formal education. To appease the masses, Khloe proposed adding homeschooling to the bill, as long as the homeschool teacher had been approved by the Ministry. Because of this, many people were willing to approve the bill.
However, Khloe had one person against passing the bill. Irving Reynell believed that children should not be forced into education. For the most part, he did not sway any of the voters to change the bill. Luckily for him, he had a secret weapon. When the time for the vote came, he used as much Gold as he possibly could to try and bribe votes into rejecting the Magical Education Mandate.
On the day of the election, many wizards cast their votes. This bill was one that would greatly affect the magical community, and everyone wanted a say. The votes were counted shortly after, and the results were extremely close. Fortunately, the bill passed into law, with 51% in favour. The moment this was announced, many tried to call for another vote due to how close it was.
Each plea was denied, and the law was officially enacted in 1932. Since then, children have been required to attend five years of magical education, from the ages of 11 to 16.
Modern Day
To this day, the law continues to be enforced. Those who do not comply end up getting their magic bound. Many people have tried to extend the education requirement to seven years, but it has been quickly turned down as many believed it not to be necessary.
Trivia
- You can attend a Wizarding Law class to learn about the Magical Education Mandate and many other stories based on the wizarding world’s history.
