Whatever Happened to Educational Priority Areas?
Smith, George
Oxford Review of Education, v13 n1 p23-38 1987
Examines why, after a successful beginning, EPA programs faltered and all but disappeared by the end of the 1970s. Concludes that while there were many causes, three major factors were the failure of the EPA to respond to changing values, changing base of research support, and the worsening conditions of the inner city.
