Massachusetts Education Reform
The Massachusetts Education Reform refers to a series of legislative changes aimed at improving the quality of education in the state. Initiated in the early 1990s, the reform focused on raising academic standards, increasing funding for public schools, and implementing standardized testing to assess student performance.
Key components of the reform included the establishment of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) and the introduction of school accountability measures. These efforts aimed to ensure that all students, regardless of their background, received a high-quality education and were prepared for college and careers.
