This paper discusses demography, statistics, and trends related to Native American education and makes projections for the year 2000. Based on linear regressions of earlier census data, projections for 1990 and 2000 include: (1) fast population growth for American Indians and Alaska Natives; (2) population growth shifts to urban areas; (3) an increasing aged population as well as a growing school aged population; (4) changes in distribution among the states of the Native population and tribes; (5) increasing but still lagging behind educational attainment; (6) low labor force participation; (7) high poverty rates; (8) high mortality rates among young people; (9) varying but overall increasing enrollments for public, private, and Bureau of Indian Affairs schools; (10) low enrollment in higher education and limited major fields of study in management and social sciences; (11) overall growing enrollments in adult education, vocational education, vocational rehabilitation, and special programs; (12) some gains in Native scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test and the American College Testing Program; (13) dropout rates; (14) fluctuating but overall increasing educational attainment; (15) varying educational funding but decreasing federal aid; and (16) teacher turnover, attrition, and salaries as major problems.
