             These reforms express my deep belief in our public schools and their mission to build the mind and character of every child, from every back-round, in every part of America.
             President George W. Bush.
             January 2001.
             Policy Description.
             On Jan. 8, 2002, President Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind act of 2001. The act is the most sweeping reform of the Elementary and 2ndary Education Act since ESEA was enacted in 1965. It is based on four basic principles: stronger accountability for results, increased flexibility and local control, expanded options for parents, and an emphasis on teaching methods that have been proven to work. Bush stresses teacher quality and the recruitment of qualified teachers in this Act. According to reports if there are more qualified teachers in the classrooms student performances increase. Bush's Act states that we recruit college graduates fresh from college and place them where they are certified to teach. .
             Within this policy every school will be given a national test annually to provide to each student. This test will consist of information that every student is expected to know and comprehended up to that level. These tests will make the schools accountable for the performance of every student and the improvement of the school as a whole.
             This will also help to provide insight into which schools are in need of more attention and better educators. Also the results of the testing must be broken down into certain categories: poverty, race and ethnicity, disability, and limited English proficiency so that no group is left behind.
             History .
             The demand for education is contagious and readily transferred from generation to generation. Parents want more and better schooling for their children than they had ever had. The federal government has put its best foot forward to help with citizens who need extra money for their education. Thanks to the G.I. Bill, National Defense Education Act, and The Elementary and 2ndary Education Act many Americans have been able to reach higher education.
