Assuming that all other conditions remain the same, it is reasonable to forecast trends indicated by demographic studies. Georgia education data is compared to that of the US as a whole, but the paper points out the problems inherent in comparing some categories, such as 'high school by grade' vs 'did not complete high school.' Bibliography lists 7 sources.

This paper offers a synopsis of educational legislative highlights from the 103rd, 104th, and 105th Congress as well as current trends in state legislation before speculating on whether or not the major goals of federal legislation are obtainable.

[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper applying the principles of "Informed Dialogue : Using Research to Shape Education Policy around the World" to formulating educational policy in Namibia.

Each aspect of the decision-making process is seen as being valuable not only to improving education and reducing its elitist components, but also in contributing to building a national goal in enhancing the lives of those who had been so flagrantly discriminated against in the colonial system.
