The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 was a cornerstone of the Great Society's education initiatives. It aimed to close the educational achievement gap by providing federal funding to schools serving low-income students. The ESEA significantly increased access to quality education for disadvantaged children, leading to improved educational outcomes. However, it also faced limitations, such as inconsistent implementation across states and ongoing debates about federal versus local control of education.
