First Compulsory Attendance Laws Established
The requirement for schools to be established and for students to attend alerted people of the importance of education. This act is important to history because this is how students started coming to school, and remained in school. Students are still required to go to school today so that educators can provide them with the education they need for the future. Without these acts, students may not attend school and get the education they need. -

This act made this struggle known so educators can further be supported. -

Every Student Succeeds Act
This is the first act that required that all students be taught at high academic standards which is crucial to provide equal learning opportunities and high student success rate.

When everyone understands and is involved we can further uplift our students.
