the northwest ordinance of 1787 affeted education by stating that it shall forever be encouraged in the territories and that a certain percentage of all sales within the territories shall go to fund public schooling within the territory. this, however led to an extremely loccalized standard of shool funding. a poor area, which doesn't sell much would have a much poorer(and lower standards) school than a merchant hub which has a better funded school.

The Northwest Ordinance is a recognition by Congress that education is needed and should be encouraged in the states that would eventually be formed out of the so-called northwest territory. Article 3 of the Ordinance states: "Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged." The Ordinance was adopted by Congress in 1787 under the former Articles of Confederation and about 2 years before the present Constitution became fully effective; however it continued to apply after the Constitution was adopted.

The Northwest Ordinance said "schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged." It also set land-grant sizes and prices, and provided public land for the building of schools. It also outlawed slavery and guaranteed civil liberties. .
