“No Child Left Behind Act of 2001” or NCLB is under Public Law 107-110. It is a federal law in the United States that was passed on May 23, 2024 in the House of Representatives. It was signed on the 8th of January the following year. It is the latest federal legislation that enacts the theories of a standard-based educational reform. This act reauthorized numerous federal programs that aim to improve the country’s performance in primary and secondary schools. This is done by increasing the standards for the states and school districts.
The states should develop criterion based assessments that are then given to the students. The act itself does not give an achievement standard. The schools are the ones who set their own standards for the schools are the ones that know their capabilities and weaknesses.
The success and interest of the act are fiercely debated but it is up for a likely reauthorization this year. One of its comments on the effectiveness of the act in terms of student learning for it can cause lesser attainment of goals. The new Congress
has considered lots of revisions. Numerous Republican Senators and Representatives want to introduce a legislation in order to provide the states with greater freedom from the “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001”’s punishments and controls. |
