Why is citation [1] there?

Some efforts were made to add more of a Welsh emphasis into teaching; this included a limited introduction of the Welsh language into lessons: Should this be re-introduction? Since it had been used before.

The boards were allowed but not required to make education compulsory, a power that was extended to other districts in 1876: It has not been mentioned that boards had been set up in the districts that did not require schools, so when we get to "a power that was extended to other districts in 1876", it is not obvious that the "districts" actually refer to the boards established in the districts that did not require schools.

Compulsory education was also extended to deaf and blind children in 1893: Since all the other acts in this paragraph are named, and for indexing purposes, perhaps we should name this act too (Elementary Education (Blind and Deaf Children) Act 1893).

His main impact was on Welsh language teaching, which is discussed elsewhere in this article: This section could be linked, and I think a word should be added to clarify that his impact was positive.

Hugh Owen, a retired civil servant, dedicated himself to fundraising: Should mention that he retired because he wanted to dedicate himself to fundraising.

This lack of radicalism was off-putting for much of the working classes but by 1924 the association had 4,000 students in 200 classes: Repetition of "classes", could this be reworded?

I think the state of women and girl's education needs more coverage, there is only a half paragraph and a few sentences on the subject. Perhaps add a sentence in the lead, and that literacy rates were lower for girls than boys in the 1860s (Jones and Roderick, p. 99), and anything else important to the state of girl's education.

I have already described the general grammatical and MoS mistakes in the previous GA reviews on this topic. I fixed invalid uses of semi-colons, spaces around em-dashes etc.

You can wikilink publishers in the bibliography, which looks much better and is occasionally useful for readers. I will wikilink them all now on this article and the previous two in this topic.

[2]: Text is fully backed up by citation, but what part of the text requires Stephens page 77? It seems to me like it is all supported by page 79.

[3]: All good

[4]: All good

[5]: Text fully supported, but why include the information about deaf and blind children, but not the almost identical legislation that happened six years later for physically-impaired children?

[10]: All good

[17]: All good

[23]: All good

[24]: This doesn't support the text at all, mistake?

[27]: All good

[20]: All good

[35]: All good

[37]: Needs page numbers

[42]: All good

[57]: All good

[60]: All good

Well illustrated and images seem to have correct licenses.
