Compact For Education-Duke University-1965

This 1965 Compact for Education served as the seed for what would become the Education Commission of the States (ECS), a hybrid entity which disseminated federal education policy and fiscal/accountability directives, model curriculum, teaching methods, etc. across the nation, resulting in all states having basically the same education and funding agenda. Since the change agents involved in creating ECS knew it would be difficult to get state legislators to jump on board and fund such an unconstitutional, they persuaded the Carnegie Corporation to provide the initial funding. The Chairman of each State Senate Education Committee serves as an advisor and attends important meetings where intra and inter-state policy initiatives are discussed.
