The Role of the State in the Governance of Higher Education. Program Report No. 80-B16. Glenny, Lyman A.; Schmidtlein, Frank A.

ALL ONE SYSTEM:EXPANDING EXPECTATIONS Demographics of Education – Kindergarten through Graduate School

The Education Continuum

Dr. Harold L. HodgkinsonInstitute of Educational Leadership 1985

Their numbers are now so large that if they do not succeed, all of us will have diminished futures…

Dr. Hodgkinson insists that all levels of education, from early childhood to graduate school and beyond, must realize that they are part of a chain.

ECONOMIC and social disaster may be in store for this country if schools and colleges fail to educate ''hard to teach'' students.
