1. IntroductionThe value and role of “knowledge” is different in every culture, but a good basic education is essential in every culture. Primary and secondary education in the UK (up to age 16) is compulsory for all children. However, there were a limited number of high-quality schools and these are in excess demand. This has created the problem of “distribution” of pupils between schools (Hurst and Sugden, 2011). So a practical and effective admissions policy has a great influence on the quality of basic education. The purpose of writing this report is to support the reliability and effectiveness of the current enrollment policy. According to this report, this will help admissions policy designers to resolve problems and demonstrate the benefits of this policy to parents. This report includes four parts. First, a brief introduction on the evolution of basic education admission policy is provided. The status of the current selection process will be discussed next. Thirdly, the advantages and problems will be evaluated. The last part of this report will show some suggestions for solving the problems, such as improving the quality of local schools and punishing “address scammers”.2. History Admissions policy has undergone a number of changes and developments since Butler's Education Act 1944 established compulsory primary (ages 5-11) and secondary (ages 11-15) schools. At that point, the selection process involves an 11-plus exam (Mcnay and Ozga, 1985). In the United Kingdom, the 11-plus is an examination administered to some students in the final year of primary education and which governs admission to various types of secondary school. The name comes from the age range for secondary entry: 11-12 years. The 11-plus exam usually consisted of three papers...... half of the paper...... children studying in an area school will have a better quality of school and home education due to the link between schools and communities. Furthermore, it offers equal opportunities for access to a good school and a good solution to prevent childhood obesity. On the contrary, it leads to fierce competition for good quality schools, which is recognized as the main cause of the high price of houses near good schools. Another fact is that more and more parents are cheating in secondary school enrollment. According to the above analysis, improving the quality of local schools can be an effective way to substantially reduce competition for good schools. To some extent, strong policy and strict supervision can prevent cheating in the application. These recommendations can help enrollment policy be more effective and fair.
