The Northwest ordinance of 1787 called for the public education system by the land ordinance policy of 1785.
<u>Explanation:</u>
During colonization, the schools were left to individuals separately. So to make the education mandatory, the schools were made to function efficiently but on the southern colonies this was not insisted that much compulsorily.
So due to the ruralness there they conduct it as apprenticeships.
This abolished section 16 which is preexisting and established section 29 in which the public schools were organized to educate the best minds.
later the northwest ordinance came which made the public education system mandatory in all regions by providing land in great lakes and ohio valley.
