Education in Kansas is governed at the primary and secondary school level by the [[Kansas State Board of Education]]. The state's public colleges and universities are supervised by the [[Kansas Board of Regents]].

Twice since 1999 the Board of Education has approved changes in the state science curriculum standards that encouraged the teaching of [[intelligent design]]. Both times, the standards were reversed after changes in the composition of the board in the next election.
