"On January 8, 2002, President Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLBA). This law represents his education reform plan and contains the most sweeping changes to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) since it was enacted in 1965. It changes the federal government's role in education, from kindergarten through 12th grade, by requiring America's schools to describe their success in terms of what each student accomplishes."
