Under the T&FASEG program the Secretary awards grants for projects to-- (a) Conduct activities consistent with the programs described in the ESEA, including the types of activities authorized under-- (1) Title I of the ESEA--Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged. (2) Title II of the ESEA--Preparing, Training, and Recruiting High-Quality Teachers and Principals. (3) Title III of the ESEA--Language Instruction for Limited English Proficient and Immigrant Students. (4) Title IV of the ESEA--21st Century Schools. (5) Title V of the ESEA--Promoting Informed Parental Choice and Innovative Programs; and (b) Provide direct educational services that assist all students with meeting challenging State academic achievement standards. Note: The Secretary interprets the term ``direct educational services'' to mean-- (1) Activities that are designed to improve student achievement or the quality of education; and (2) Instructional services for students and teacher training.
