Built in 1978, and designed by Adrian Rolt of G-Force, it is the most completely preserved purpose-built skatepark in England. It is the first skatepark in Europe to achieve listed status and the second such structure worldwide. It was built and opened in August 1978 and is named after the adjacent River Rom. It was designed by Adrian Rolt of G-Force. Rolt is considered the leading skatepark designer of the 1970s. In 1979 John Greenwood took control of the Rom Skatepark and with the help"

Until recently in Italy, students could leave school once they reached the age of 14. The compulsory school leaving age was raised to 16 years to bring the country into line with the rest of the EU. The reform of the educational system presently underway in Italy has increased the school leaving age to 18 years. Apprentices below the"

This increased the legal leaving age from 15 to 16 and for one year, 1973, there were no 15 year old school leavers as the students, by law, had to complete an additional year of education. Many secondary schools were unable to accommodate the new 5th year students. The solution to the problem was to construct new buildings (often referred to as """"ROSLA Buildings"""" or """"ROSLA Blocks"""") for the schools that needed to extend their capacity. This"

"The secular-education requirement arose from a deadlock between secularist, Catholic, and Protestant MPs over how much and what type of religious influence (if any) should be included in state schools. Ultimately, MPs opted for the safest route by making state education secular. As a result, both Catholic and Protestant churches set up their own private school systems.

Another result was that the percentage of children attending higher education tripled from 1% to 3%. The Act provided both for nursery schools"
