Education for Democracy Act

The Education for Democracy Act (H.R. 611) seeks to strengthen civic and economic education for students both in the United States and abroad. The bill authorizes federal funding for non-profit organizations, such as the Center for Civic Education and the National Council on Economic Education, to develop curriculum and programs like "We the People" and "Project Citizen."

For citizens, this legislation aims to improve how students learn about the U.S. Constitution, the democratic process, and the fundamentals of the economy. Additionally, it establishes international exchange programs to share these educational models with developing countries and emerging democracies in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
