State education policy

State education policy involves the rules and guidelines set by a state's government to oversee public schools. These policies determine what students should learn, set standards for teacher qualifications, allocate funding, and ensure equal access for all students. They also address school safety, assessment methods, and accountability measures. The goal is to provide quality education, promote student success, and prepare learners for college, careers, or civic life. State policies often vary but aim to create a consistent, fair, and effective educational environment across public schools within the state.
