You still need to work on commas that fall into uses #3

1) Until the late eighteenth century, the Church had control over most of the educational facilities in England.

2) During the nineteenth century, the Church played a role in establishing Sunday schools, which aimed to provide vocational training for the lower classes.

3) According to the law, factory owners were obligated to teach their apprentices, but they often neglected this responsibility.

4) Most schools were situated in industrial and urban areas.

5) The Education Act of 1870 made school attendance compulsory for children aged 5 to 10.

6) The education provided in the new state schools was based on a team-oriented approach that prioritized collective effort over individual achievement.

To revise sentences, it's important to consider clarity, word choice, and sentence structure. Make sure to proofread the revised sentences and ensure that they convey your intended meaning accurately.
