U.S. Department of Education

Overview

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is a federal agency established on October 17, 1979, with the mission to promote student achievement and ensure equal access to education for all. It was created to consolidate federal education functions and strengthen the commitment to equal educational opportunities, particularly for underrepresented groups.

ED's key responsibilities include establishing policies for federal financial aid, collecting and disseminating educational data, addressing critical education issues, and enforcing civil rights laws. The agency administers various programs, such as the Title I program for supporting low-income students, and oversees federal student financial aid. It collaborates with states, local districts, and community organizations to enhance educational quality and reduce administrative burdens, supporting over 50 million students nationwide.
