Federal Education Programs
This section will reflect information obtained from the Federal Interagency Committee on Education. The Federal Interagency Committee on Education was established by executive order in 1982. The executive order directed the committee to “study and make recommendations for assuring effective coordination of federal programs, policies and administrative practices affecting education.”
The executive order set five goals for the committee:
- Consistent administration and development of policies and practices among federal agencies in the conduct of related programs
- Full and effective cooperation with the secretary on such studies and analyses as are necessary to carry out the purposes of this act
- Full and effective cooperation with the secretary on such studies and analyses as are necessary to carry out the purposes of the order
- Coordination of related programs to assure that recipients of federal assistance are efficiently and responsively served
- Full and effective involvement and participation of students and parents in federal education programs
In addition the U.S. Department of Education, there are 11 cabinet-level agencies that participate (the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Interior Transportation and Treasury) and several noncabinet agencies.
The FICE meets regularly to review educational programs within different agencies. Information provided in this section will be targeted for teachers and students.

Selected teachers spend up to one year in a congressional office or a federal agency. Agencies that have participated include the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Education, National Institute of Standards and Technology, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The fellows provide their educational expertise, years of experience, and personal insights to these offices.

This three-year summer program will use the unmatched wealth of mentoring talent at the DOE National Laboratories to guide and enrich the teachers’ understanding of the scientific and technological world. Through this program, teachers will establish long-term relationships with their mentor scientists and teaching colleagues who will continue to support the educational efforts of the teachers when they have returned to their classrooms.
