The Evolving Role of Government in Education In the essay, I will be discussing the following: the evolving role of state and federal government in U.S. education, the church /state debate in public education as while as the laws and cases that had an impact on U.S. education. The state and the federal government have different roles in U.S education. The state is responsible for the department of education, curriculum, and the funding. However, the state provides funding to public schools throughout each state to benefit the children education, staff members, administrators, and teachers etc. Basically, the state board is responsible for approving statewide educational policies and determine budget priorities (“Education in the U.S.”, 2010). In addition, the federal government also provides funding to the public schools as well. The government has many federal agencies and organization that helps benefit children educational needs in order for them to be successful. “The NCLB alters the federal government’s role in elementary and secondary education by requiring the states and schools to measure success in terms of student performance” (“Education in the U.S.”, 2010). However, the federal government also provides grants and scholarships to people who are attending a college or university to get a higher education. As a result, the NCLB also benefits children with disability, because they have the same rights and opportunities as other children with no disability to attend any public school, college or university in order to enhance their knowledge and become successful individual.
The most famous case that had a major impact on U.S. education was the Brown v. Board of Education. This particular case was about segregation and discrimination against African American students
