In other countries, the introduction of compulsory education laws also occurred at different times. For example, in the United Kingdom, the first compulsory education law was the Education Act of 1870, which established free, compulsory education for children aged 5 to 10. In Australia, the first compulsory education law was the Education Act of 1872 in the state of Victoria, which made education compulsory for children aged 6 to 15. In Canada, compulsory education laws also vary by province, but generally, children are required to attend school from the ages of 6 or 7 until they are 16 or 18.
