A decade after the implementation of the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law, Georgia schools Superintendent John Barge and other state school superintendents are pushing to have it waived.
Barge expects to hear whether the state has received the waiver by the end of the month.
Back in 2002, the No Child Left Behind act was introduced into U.S. schools. It was the start of Criterion Reference Competency Tests (CRCT) which aimed to promote and monitor success among students.
Educators say when put into practice, the program helped improve schools.
