Question

What mandate has required students be technologically literate by the end of the eighth grade, and has put pressure on states to find appropriate technological benchmarks for teachers and students?

Answer 1

The No Child Left Behind mandate made this so. The mandate was passed in 2001 and it required that schools have to test their students in areas such as reading and report the scores. The goal was to make all students proficient on state tests to prove literacy had improved.
