  11. Federal Government Involvement in Education • The Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 • Federal government involvement in education makes the federal government the center of educational policy making power, while previously, the states and localities had been the center. Federal government brings more funds and support for poverty programs, school libraries,, textbooks and other instructional materials, counseling and health services, and remedial instruction. • The No Child Left Behind Act, signed into law by President George W. Bush on Jan. 8, 2002, requires states to close the achievement gap and ensure that all students, including those who are disadvantaged, achieve academic proficiency with 12 years. School districts and schools that fail to make adequate yearly progress toward satewideprofeciency goals will, over time, be subject to improvement, corrective action, and restructuring measures aimed at getting them back on course to meet state standards.

  12. Poverty and Education • After the Civil War (1861-1865), the population of the U.S. grew rapidly in cities and other industrialized areas. In 1890, about 30% of people live in cities, in 2000, about 80% of people live in urban areas. In 1910 about half of the labor force live in poverty. By now, poverty is still a painful condition in the United States (35.9 Million live in poverty).

  13. Poverty and Education, cont’d • Children growing up in poverty and disadvantage are less likely to do well at school. This feeds into disadvantage in later life and in turn affects their children. • Researches so far shows that: • ■Socio-economic differences affect children's learning through a range of factors. • ■Some influences are felt inside school, interacting with children's attitude towards education. (Self esteem, goal, confidence in learning, background) • ■Others occur outside school, but are nevertheless important for learning and development(less resources at home and community). • ■Children from different backgrounds have diverse experiences and develop different attitudes/aspirations, despite also having many things in common. • ■The aspirations, attitudes and behavior of both parents and children play an important part in explaining the gap between richer and poorer children's educational attainment. • Only by understanding the varied factors influencing social differences in education will it be possible to design effective responses in policy and practice in education.
