TDOE - Tennessee Department of
Education
A quality education is the fundamental right of every child in
Tennessee. The department provides many services, and it is our
responsibility to ensure equal, safe, and quality learning
opportunities for all students, pre-kindergarten through 12th
grade. Therefore, our mission is to help teachers teach and
children learn.
This department consists of four primary divisions - Special
Education, Vocational-Technical Education, Resources and Support
Services, and Teaching and Learning. Remembering our priority of
putting teachers and students first drives the department's daily
operations:
We are here to support the 136 school districts and 1,677
schools in Tennessee and to help them in their daily efforts to
educate our children. We also provide services to approximately 575
private schools and thousands of home-schooled students across the
state. When making inquiries to our department, you should expect
prompt, thoughtful, and courteous responses.

THEC
- Tennessee Higher Education Commission
The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) was created in
1967 by the Tennessee General Assembly (TCA 49-7-202) for the
purpose of coordinating and supporting the efforts of
post-secondary institutions in the State of Tennessee. One of its
statutory requirements is to create a master plan for the
development of public higher education in Tennessee.
The mission for Tennessee's twenty-first
century system of higher education is to:
- Elevate the overall educational attainment of citizens in the
State through increased accessibility to mission-focused
institutions, which deliver educational services on campus, as well
as through a planned network of off-campus instruction, and
- Prepare citizens responsibly for success in the new century by
providing high quality teaching and research in an environment that
serves the needs of its consumers.
