federal education laws

Federal education laws establish national standards and protections to ensure all students have access to quality education. Key laws include the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which supports student achievement and accountability; the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), guaranteeing free, appropriate education for students with disabilities; and the Title IX law, promoting gender equality and preventing discrimination. These laws provide funding, set fair policies, and protect students' rights across public schools and colleges, balancing local control with national oversight to promote equal educational opportunities for everyone.
