The federal and state Departments of Education have different roles in shaping and managing the education system in the U.S.:
Federal Department of Education (U.S. Department of Education)
- Sets National Education Policy – Establishes broad educational goals and priorities.
- Distributes Federal Funding – Allocates grants and loans for schools, colleges, and students.
- Ensures Compliance with Federal Laws – Enforces civil rights laws (e.g., Title IX, IDEA) and monitors state compliance.
- Conducts Research & Data Collection – Gathers education data to inform policy decisions.
- Provides Guidance & Support – Offers best practices but does not directly control schools or curricula.
State Departments of Education
- Oversee Public Schools & Districts – Manage K-12 education and enforce state-specific policies.
- Set Curriculum Standards – Define what students should learn and establish testing requirements.
- License Teachers & Administrators – Set certification requirements for educators.
- Distribute State Education Funds – Allocate state education budgets to districts and schools.
- Implement Federal & State Laws – Ensure local schools comply with both federal regulations and state policies.
Key Difference:
The federal Department of Education focuses on funding, policy guidance, and national priorities, while State Departments of Education directly manage schools, set curricula, and oversee day-to-day education policies within their states.
