The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) has set performance standards for public schools throughout the United States, but has been criticized for its lack of funding.

No Child Left Behind
While John McCain was not one of the original supporters of the No Child Left Behind Act, he has become one of its advocates. However, McCain does believe that the program needs some reform. He believes that more accountability should be put on the individual teachers as well as schools. If the schools and the teachers do not fit a child's needs, McCain believes that parents should be granted vouchers to schools that better suit their children.On The Issues: John McCain on Education
