The Study Commission has formulated five propositions. One: The function of education is first to bring the child to adult competency in the neighborhood or culture of his birth or present household and second to provide him with critical perspectives provided by the procedures for investigating, understanding, or imagining that are currently used in other cultures, but not at the risk of alienating him from his home, neighborhood, culture, or the vocational and festival lives that go with these. Two: The credentialing and licensing of those designated as teachers should be based on demonstrated competency to assist the child in achieving adulthood. Three: The state and its agencies should develop not only client-oriented but fiscally and culturally neutral educational laws and management and funding systems. Four: The credentialing of educational personnel ought to be culturally neutral at the state level. Five: The processes of educational planning and futures planning in general should be reconstructed so as to preserve the traditional principles of representative government and citizen participation. These propositions have led the Study Commission to the investigation and formulation of legal matters relevant to the propositions. (JA)
