Which of the following is NOT an objective of Public Law 94-142?

Public Law 94-142, also known as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, aimed to ensure that all children with disabilities have access to free appropriate public education and that their rights, along with the rights of their parents, are protected. It emphasizes educational access, protection of rights, and accountability in the education of children with disabilities.

The option focused on protecting the financial rights of educational institutions does not align with the primary objectives of this law. Instead, the law's intent is to promote the educational rights and protections for children with disabilities, ensuring they have the same educational opportunities as their non-disabled peers. Thus, the focus is on students and their families rather than the financial interests of the institutions themselves.

In contrast, the other objectives, such as ensuring access to education, protecting the rights of children with disabilities and their families, and assessing the effectiveness of educational efforts, are all integral to the mission of Public Law 94-142. These components work together to create a supportive framework that encourages and facilitates the education of children with disabilities.
