Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Education reforms in the 1990s gave more autonomy to local school districts, whereas reforms in the 1980s were more focused on centralizing school administration at the state level. The other answer choices are incorrect, as the 1990s reforms did not cut education spending, did not further centralize school administration, and did not begin providing higher levels of funding for education. Bilingual education may have been emphasized differently, but it is not mentioned in the question stem.
