The correct answers are A and D.
The Department of Education was created in 1980 and has 4,400 employees and a $68 billion budget.
The main goals of this department are :
<em>- Establishing policies on federal financial aid for education, distributing and monitoring those funds.</em>
- Collecting data on American schools.
- Focusing national attention on key educational issues.
<em>- Prohibiting discrimination and enforcing equal access to education.</em>
The Department of Education is not heavily involved in determining curricula or educational standards ( with the exception of the No Child Left Behind Act), this is left to state and local school districts. It does not establish school or colleges either.
