Did the law making education compulsory on great Britain reflect the philosophy of the wealth of nations the communist manifesto or some other influene?

The law making education compulsory in Great Britain did not directly reflect the philosophy of "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith or "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx. Instead, it was influenced by the broader Enlightenment ideals of social progress and individual rights. The compulsory education laws aimed to improve literacy rates, promote social mobility, and create a more educated workforce to drive economic growth.
