The current
status of education for 1994 is presented in the form of education
"indicators"--key data that measure the health of education,
monitor important developments, and show trends in major aspects
of education. The 60 indicators have been divided into 6 areas:
(1) access, participation, and progress; (2) achievement, attainment,
and curriculum; (3) economic and other outcomes of education; (4)
size, growth, and output of educational institutions; (5) climate,
classrooms, and diversity in educational institutions; and (6) human
and financial resources of educational institutions. The report
includes the text, tables, and charts for each indicator plus the
technical supporting data, supplemental information, and data sources.
Information on issues in elementary and secondary education are
integrated with those on issues
in postsecondary education to reflect the continuity of educational
experiences. An overview synthesizes evidence from both the 60 indicators
and other sources on selected issues: (1) a review of the educational
status of high-school students 10 years after the publication of
"A Nation at Risk"; (2) a discussion of teachers as an
educational resource; (3) progress in the achievement and attainment
of black students relative to whites; and (4) a description of the
subbaccalaureate sector of postsecondary education. Appendices contain
156 supplemental tables and notes, a list of data sources, a glossary,
an index, and a list of National Center for Education publications.
