No Child Left Behind Act Analysis

On January 8, 2002, The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was signed into law by President George W. Bush.

She stated that very message. “ The world has changed..jobs required a college education and even high school dropouts could find well-paying work..with research showing that millions of Americans...lack basic literacy skills, let alone, more advanced skills,” if the educational system do not produce success while the students is young then “helping adult learners will require new approaches to the funding, organization and delivery of post secondary education and training” (Yaffe, 33).
