Federal and State Education Policies

Federal education policies set broad goals and standards to ensure consistency and equity across the country, often funded through government grants and legislation like the Every Student Succeeds Act. State education policies, on the other hand, manage the specific curriculum, teacher certification, and school operations within their boundaries. They adapt federal guidelines to local needs, balancing national priorities with community interests. Together, federal and state policies shape the educational system, aiming to promote student success, access, and fairness through coordination and regulation.
