Introduction

Proper assessment of the actual needs of the funding referring to the specific fields is the one main responsibility of the government. It is crucial for the federal and state government to critically identify the sectors or the specific programs that require necessary attention. It is worthy to mention that the entities of the president and the Congress have the objective to identify the budgetary priorities and deliver the funds to achieve all the related spheres of the public programs. Inappropriate evaluation of the budgetary priorities ultimately leads to chronic issues identify as public policy problems ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"zpqoqVZu","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Chingos & Blagg, 2017)","plainCitation":"(Chingos & Blagg, 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":641,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/6W8D4EIL"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/6W8D4EIL"],"itemData":{"id":641,"type":"article-journal","title":"Making Sense of State School Funding Policy","container-title":"Urban Institute.

It is important for the governments to remain vigilant about the actual expenses and deliver adequate funds to meet the need of the public program. Here the prime focus is to critically explain the policy issue of education and investigate the actual funding situation considering its impact on all the stakeholders.

Discussion

Education is characterized as the one mandatory and important feature to apprehend the objective of developed society. It is one core objective of the federal and the local governments to invest an adequate amount of funding in the specific sector of education to make it possible to achieve the actual objectives of this segment ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"cyIhGPEB","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Strauss, 2014)","plainCitation":"(Strauss, 2014)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":637,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/MRN2DXQQ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/MRN2DXQQ"],"itemData":{"id":637,"type":"webpage","title":"America's School Funding Problems, State by State","container-title":"Washington Post","URL":"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2014/02/05/americas-school-funding-problems-state-by-state/?utm_term=.b12f68462ae2","author":[{"family":"Strauss","given":"Valerie"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2014"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Strauss, 2014). It is observed that the education sector of the country never achieved the satisfactory form of funds from the federal government in the form of Washington State to achieve the actual target of ensuring learning domains for all the children. Existing situation of the education sector makes it essential to critically analyze the current public policy and funding structure set by the government for the education sector of the country.

The main concern relevant to the main idea of public policy for the education sector is to evaluate the fairness of the funding structure. Today, this concern is immensely increasing that the government of Washington is more concern to invest in weapons contrary to the productive sector of education. The demand for increasing funds for the education public policy increases with each day as it referred to as the most neglected sector by the government. The issue of public policy for the education sector is expanding after the quick cut in the funding structure for this specific paradigm ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"wKQO5A5T","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Litvinov, Alvarez, Long, & Walker, 2018)","plainCitation":"(Litvinov, Alvarez, Long, & Walker, 2018)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":638,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/SRCFSPBA"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/SRCFSPBA"],"itemData":{"id":638,"type":"webpage","title":"10 Challenges Facing Public Education Today","container-title":"neaToday","URL":"http://neatoday.org/2018/08/03/10-challenges-facing-public-education-today/","author":[{"family":"Litvinov","given":"Amanda"},{"family":"Alvarez","given":"Brenda"},{"family":"Long","given":"Cindy"},{"family":"Walker","given":"Tim"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Litvinov, Alvarez, Long, & Walker, 2018). Undoubtedly, the funding situation for the paradigm of education is getting worse as the federal government never show the serious concern for this specific form of development.

The overall funding situation of the education policy never favors all the needs of this sector as there is need of more funds for each level of education. It is observed that the entities of schools facing an immense form of troubles when it comes to the implementation of the ideas of learning in their true and effective prospects. It is revealed that now school organizations are not able to pay off student debt or it ultimately appears in the form of stagnant salaries ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"I4iN9y0F","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Leachman, Masterson, & Figueroa, 2017)","plainCitation":"(Leachman, Masterson, & Figueroa, 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":642,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/IAVDELHI"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/7Hi3kAOD/items/IAVDELHI"],"itemData":{"id":642,"type":"webpage","title":"A Punishing Decade for School Funding","container-title":"CBPP.Org","URL":"https://www.cbpp.org/research/state-budget-and-tax/a-punishing-decade-for-school-funding","author":[{"family":"Leachman","given":"Michael"},{"family":"Masterson","given":"Kathleen"},{"family":"Figueroa","given":"Eric"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Leachman, Masterson, & Figueroa, 2017). The existing circumstances of the education sector demand to increase the focus of public policy and enhance the aspect of budgetary priorities for this specific sector.

Conclusion

To conclude the discussion about the insufficient consideration of the public policy in case of the education sector, it is vital to mention that it is right time for the federal government to enhance its focus and reestablish the funding structure. Insufficient funding cause different forms of concerns for the school management and educational professionals. The inadequate approach of funding in the education sector ultimately affects the learning domain of the students. It is important for the federal government to address the issue of the public policy of education on priority and offer a better form of funding to assure the achievement of the learning objectives for all the students.
