The goal of the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Web site is to open up the Department of Education and be more responsive to parents, educators, and taxpayers. The site provides access to a wide range of information including the laws governing Pennsylvania's educational system to a list of the home pages of schools and colleges in the state. You can also find information on how to become a certified teacher in Pennsylvania and where to obtain a GED. Also included is up-to-date news and information on programs sponsored by the department along with information explaining the vast resources of the Commonwealth Libraries.
