education laws

Statutes governing schooling

Education laws are statutes and regulations governing schools and learning institutions—covering compulsory attendance, curriculum standards, funding, teacher certification, and student rights.

They operate at federal, state, and local levels: The new education laws require schools to report standardized test scores.

Debates over education laws often involve religious instruction, parental choice, and equal access.
