The Dwight D. Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Education Program is authorized under the Education for Economic Security Act as amended by the Hawkins-Stafford Elementary and Secondary Improvement Amendments of 1988. The purpose of the program is to support innovative projects of national significance directed at improving the quality of teaching and instruction in mathematics and science in the schools and to increase the access of all students to that instruction.
