educational standards
Academic achievement criteria
Educational standards are benchmarks specifying what students should know and be able to do at each grade level or upon completing a course of study.
They guide curriculum development, teaching methods, and assessment across schools and districts: The state adopted new educational standards for mathematics.
Standards may be set by governments, professional organizations, or accrediting bodies, and debates often center on whether they promote rigor or impose unhelpful uniformity.
