Federal involvement in education

Federal involvement in education primarily includes funding, setting standards, and ensuring equal access to education. The government provides financial assistance to schools through programs like Title I, which supports low-income students. Additionally, federal laws, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), promote access for students with disabilities. The Department of Education also enforces regulations to prevent discrimination and ensure educational quality. While states and local districts primarily manage schools, federal involvement aims to enhance educational opportunities and address disparities across the nation.
