Re: STEM Coalition Blasts Plan to End Science Testing Mandate

A draft bill released last month by Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., the chairman of the House education committee, would abolish the current requirement in the No Child Left Behind Act that states test students in science three times before they graduate high school. It would keep, however, the law's mandate for testing English/language arts and mathematics in grades 3-8 and once in high school. The GOP proposal was part of legislation to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. (NCLB is the latest version of the 1965 law.)
