This change was necessary because many educators and policymakers believed that the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) imposed overly rigid testing requirements and a one-size-fits-all approach to education that did not adequately address the diverse needs of students and schools. ESSA aimed to provide more flexibility to states and districts while still promoting accountability and closing achievement gaps.
