The Evolving Role of Government in Education The time has come for everyone to take a role in planning, supporting and inspiring education. The role of the state and federal government in the United State is that the federal government, the state and the churches play a great role in education. The government has many roles in education. Education is primarily a state and local responsibility in the United States (.U.S. department of Education, Ed.gov). The government encourages adults to get their full learning and works with others departments to develop school infrastructure and schools skills to meet the needs of growth areas. The government’s main aim in education is to raise standards in schools. The government wants parents to be able to choose a good school, matching what they want for their child and what a school offers. The government has expanded and encouraged schools and colleges to specialize in particular subjects, languages and technology. Education is paid for and administrated by government bodies. The government department faculties employ a wide range of teaching strategies and offer a variety of learning (Oppapers). The federal government does get indirectly involved with public education through the series of legislative action such as the NCLBA. The federal government allocates funding to states based on the number of students with special needs (GCU Lecture). The federal government includes funds not only from the Department of Education. ,but also from other federal agencies, such as the department of Health and Human Services Head Start programs and the Department of Agriculture School lunch program (Education.gov U.S. Department of Education). The federal government role in education, has grown the department mission

    A policy area in the middle of these cross-currents is elementary and secondary education – a subject traditionally under local control, with some oversight by the states. However, during the last four decades – especially since 2001 – the national government's role in education has grown significantly as a result of initiatives by Republican and Democratic administrations. Use the assigned resources to inform yourself about this role and the arguments of its supporters and critics.…

    The federal government does not have too much power over education. I believe this because the government is doing what best for all and not just what's best for a small population. An example is found in Document 1 which was written by President Lyndon Johnson. It says, “By passing this bill, we bridge the gap between helplessness and hope for more than five million educationally deprived children.” This quote…

    During the 1980 President Regan decided to abolish the Federal Department of Education and to turn education back into the hands of the localities and the state. During these years there were also dramatic changes in ideas about the purposes and content of schooling. By the end of Regan terms school researchers came to the conclusion that basic skills was no longer sufficient enough to be competitive globally. They contended that teaching should be more deeply rooted in the disciplines and much more demanding. Teachers should be able to help students understand mathematical concepts, interpret serious concepts, write creatively and converse thoughtfully about science and history. Reformer proposed changes in politics and policy’s to achieve these goals (Ladd, nd)…

    The United States has an extensive educational system that has been charged with accommodating the needs of an extensively diverse student population. U.S. educational institutions exist at all learning levels, from preschools for early childhood education to secondary education for youths, and post secondary education for both young and older adults. Education in the United States can be commended for the many goals it aspires to accomplish—promoting democracy, assimilation, nationalism, equality of opportunity, and personal development. However, because Americans have historically insisted that schools work toward these frequently conflicting goals, education has often found itself at the center of social conflict and the hot topic of political campaigns, mostly to no avail (Goldin and Katz, 2001). While schools are expected to achieve many social objectives, education in America is neither centrally administered nor supported directly by the federal government, unlike education in other industrialized countries. This system of decentralization has created a system of inequality in education that persists. The current system has created inequalities that have culminated into a generation of students that are not adequately prepared to meet the demands of a global workforce. Moreover, students in the current U.S. educational system are unmotivated and resistant to change due to irrelevant legislation and an overwhelmed system. The inequalities and inconsistencies have spawned many debates in the U.S. as the nation joins the global community (Goldin et.…

    Education is the most important objective of local and state governments. Funds for education and mandatory school attendance indicate how much we care and thrive for the achievement of education in our society. It is uncertain that any child is not able to succeed if he or she is denied the opportunity of education. Because of the Plessy v. Ferguson court case and the Brown v. The Board of Education as well as many other court cases, they made it possible for students of all races, color etc to be given the same opportunity of education as the…
