The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was passed as a part of United States President Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty" and has been the most far-reaching federal legislation affecting education ever passed by the United States Congress. The act is an extensive statute that funds primary and secondary education.〔"The Elementary and Secondary" (Hoover Institution – Daily Report Archives – Secretary Riley Reignites the Math Wars )〕 It also emphasizes equal access to education and establishes high standards and accountability.〔(Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) )〕 In addition, the bill aims to shorten the achievement gaps between students by providing each child with fair and equal opportunities to achieve an exceptional education. As mandated in the act, the funds are authorized for professional development, instructional materials, for resources to support educational programs, and for parental involvement promotion. The act was originally authorized through 1965; however, the government has reauthorized the act every five years since its enactment. The reauthorization of ESEA by President George W. Bush was known as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The ESEA also allows military recruiters access to 11th and 12th grade students' names, addresses, and telephone listings when requested. ==Sections of the Original 1965 Act== * Title I—Financial Assistance To Local Educational Agencies For The Education Of Children Of Low-Income Families * Title II—School Library Resources, Textbooks, and other Instructional Materials * Title III—Supplementary Educational Centers and Services * Title IV—Educational Research And Training * Title V—Grants To Strengthen State Departments Of Education * Title VI—General Provisions New Titles Created by Early Amendments to 1965 Law ;1966 amendments (Public Law 89-750) * Title VI - Aid to Handicapped Children (1965 title VI becomes Title VII) ;1967 amendments (Public Law 90-247) * Title VII - Bilingual Education Programs (1966 title VII becomes Title VIII) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elementary and Secondary Education Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
