Reform Act 1832: The Representation of the People Act 1832 (known informally as the 1832 Reform Act, Great Reform Act or First Reform Act to distinguish it from subsequent Reform Acts) was an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom (indexed as 2 & 3 Will.  IV c. 45) that introduced wide-ranging changes to the electoral system of England and Wales.  According to its preamble, the Act was designed to "take effectual Measures for correcting divers Abuses that have long prevailed in the Choice of Members to serve in the Commons House of Parliament".  Before the reform, most members nominally represented boroughs.  The number of electors in a borough varied widely, from a dozen or so up to 12,000.  Frequently the selection of MPs was effectively controlled by one powerful patron: for example Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk controlled eleven boroughs.  Criteria for qualification for the franchise varied greatly among boroughs, from the requirement to own land, to merely living in a house with a hearth sufficient to boil a pot.

Education reform: Education reform is the name given to the goal of changing public education.  Historically, reforms have taken different forms because the motivations of reformers have differed.  However, since the 1980s, education reform has been focused on changing the existing system from one focused on inputs to one focused on outputs (i.e., student achievement).  In the United States, education reform acknowledges and encourages public education as the primary source of K-12 education for American youth.  Education reformers desire to make public education into a market (in the form of an input-output system), where accountability creates high-stakes from curriculum standards tied to standardized tests.
