Government Glossary
Department of Education
Department of Education is a federal department, agency, office, or public institution connected to the administration of federal law, services, records, or policy.
Plain-English Meaning
In the Guide to Government, this term belongs to departments and agencies. It is useful because government pages often use short legal or procedural labels, while visitors need to know who has authority, what document or decision to look for, and where to verify the official record.
