2002 Industry Studies: Education

摘要

United States schools are better than ever, but they are not assuring competitive advantage. Unequal access to quality education leaves millions ill equipped for today's workplace. The 'No Child Left Behind Act' is an effective point of departure, yet it too fails to adequately address the myriad issues affecting quality education. Effective teachers hold the key to fully developing the potential of all students. However, absent substantive additional resources in the near-term, efficiency and effectiveness are unlikely to improve enough for every child to obtain the education essential to long-term national security.
