Can NCLB Survive the Competitiveness Competition? Education Outlook. Number 2
Hess, Frederick M.; Rotherham, Andrew J.
American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research
Some see the George W. Bush administration's American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI) as the perfect complement to the No Child Left Behind Act's (NCLB) equity focus. The authors believe, however, that the prospects for synergy of these two agendas are not bright. In this essay, the authors discuss the history behind NCLB and the ACI, and argue that there is a fundamental disconnect between the two programs' central ideals. (Contains 17 endnotes.)
