This proposed constitutional amendment would require the federal government and individual states to work together to guarantee that every person in the United States receives a high-quality education. The change would make education a constitutional right rather than leaving it primarily to state control, potentially giving the federal government more authority to set education standards and funding levels. Students, teachers, school districts, and state governments would all be affected by this shift in how education is guaranteed and funded across the country.
