There is a difference in histories between the United Knigdom and the United States. The United Kingdom was united at sword point; the United States was formed by a willing union of what had been free and independent nations. One consequence of that was that the formerly independent states insisted upon retaining a large measure of autonomy inside the new nation:

US Constitution, Amendment X.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Until about 40 years ago, funding for education was viewed in the US as being entirely a state and (mostly) local responsibility. Until about 20 years ago, education administration was viewed the same way.
