Public education in the U.S. is heavily influenced by federal, state, and local government funding. Numerous programs, such as Title I, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), provide significant financial resources that shape educational priorities, especially in low-income and special education sectors.

Moreover, the U.S. is facing a significant shortage of teachers, particularly in subjects such as math, science, and special education. This has led to increased efforts in teacher recruitment, retention, and professional development to ensure that educators are well-equipped to handle diverse and changing classroom environments.
