handle is hein.gao/gaobacklf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Human Resources Division B-252334 November 3, 1993 The Honorable Edward M. Kennedy Chairman, Committee on Labor and Human Resources United States Senate The Honorable Nancy Landon Kassebaum Ranking Minority Member Committee on Labor and Human Resources United States Senate The Honorable Mark 0. Hatfield Ranking Minority Member Committee on Appropriations United States Senate In order to raise the performance of all the nation's students, the Congress is considering education reform legislation. The approach it is considering, called systemic reform, involves all levels of the education system--national, state, district, and school--and sets high standards of achievement for all students.' A key part of such reform is providing freedom from regulations2 that, according to experts, can constrain school improvement efforts. Under systemic reform, this regulatory flexibility would be given to schools in exchange for increasing accountability for student achievement. 'For a discussion of this approach, see Marshall S. Smith and Jennifer O'Day, Systemic School Reform, Politics of Education Association Yearbook 1990, pp. 223-267. See also Systemwide Education Reform: Federal Leadership Could Facilitate District-Level Efforts (GAO/HRD-93-97, Apr. 30, 1993). 2The term regulation refers to a variety of governmental policies, including, but not limited to, regulations. It also refers to statutes, guidelines, rules, policies, and interpretations of these items by local educators and policymakers. GAO/HRD-94-51R, Regulatory Flexibility Programs
