- Summary:
-
Several issues in education resulting from the change to the Carter administration, and how these changes will affect the remainder of the twentieth century, are discussed in this speech. The author first makes the assumption that there is the possibility of a sharp break in the educational policy of the last 10 years, noting that there has been much criticism directed at education and educational leaders throughout the country, particularly education's high costs. Key issues discussed are as follows: (1) Concern for early childhood education, which could become a vigorous component in the struggle for Federal money (According to the author, if there is a struggle to put more money in early education and other areas, it might well be that vocational education's effort to get a larger part of the Federal share has reached a plateau.); (2) the possible creation, under the new administration, of a new department of education, which could intensify competition between higher education and elementary secondary education, between vocational and early childhood education, and between the research people and the program people; (3) the consolidation of Federal programs; and (4) the authorization (under the Educational Amendments of 1976) of teacher centers, and emphasis on the problem of retraining people for both different occupations and skills and opportunities during their entire lifetime.
