The federal government has sought to improve elementary and secondary education programs for reasons ranging from alleviating poverty to stimulating the domestic economy to increasing the performance of American students in comparison to those in other industrialized nations.
The federal government's next major effort to improve primary and secondary education was the creation of the Department of Education (DOE) [http://www.ed.gov] in 1979.
The new DOE was composed mainly of programs included in the Education division of the Department of Housing, Education, and Welfare, with the single major addition of a system of overseas schools for Americans living abroad.

The undersigned industry, scientific, engineering, and educational organizations commend the House and Senate for including bipartisan provisions in the ESEA (H.R. 1) to improve K-12 science, math, engineering, and technology education.
During the final debate on ESEA and appropriations for the Department of Education, we hope you will support strong funding for the Math and Science Partnerships in Title II of ESEA.

 Comments on the Harkin Amendment to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
By transforming the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) into an entitlement, Congress would set IDEA funding in stone, giving up the opportunity to oversee and alter IDEA spending during the regular annual appropriations process.
Thus, the $158 billion increase is not only more money over 10 years than the federal government has spent on all K-12 education over the past 35 years, but it could well end up serving as the down payment on yet another runaway entitlement.
Parents, teachers, and administrators continue to voice concerns with the implementation of the act.
