Creation of the Department of Education
President Andrew Johnson first attempted to create a U.S. Department of Education in 1867, but it was downgraded to the Office of Education out of fear it would have too much power over local schools. Under Carter, the Department of Education was officially created in 1980 with a different vision.While Johnson’s department would have existed primarily to collect data about the nation’s schools, Carter’s was born out of growing efforts to help foster equal access to education, according to the department’s website.
Congress passed the Department of Education Organization Act in October 1979, and the department began carrying out its duties the following May.
