education policy
Learning system rules
Education policy refers to the principles, laws, and funding decisions that govern schools and learning systems.
It encompasses curriculum standards, teacher certification, student assessment, school funding formulas, and access to education at all levels.
Education policy debates often center on questions of equity, local versus federal control, and how to measure student success: The new education policy mandates smaller class sizes.
Politicians campaign on education policy; researchers study its effects on outcomes.
