This three-part report addresses recent education reform issues. Part I summarizes education priorities, then describes education's administration, structure, and financing.

A second section presents major issues in the current reform movement, including suggestions offered in significant studies; a trends section offers statistical indications, discusses responses to the call for quality education, notes the state of technology and science in education, and describes programs for special groups. Finally, an education research section deals with accomplishments and trends in National Institute of Education research areas and with the role of the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education. Part III lists recent education studies, analyses of those studies, and other studies by education field, including adult, management, information resources, linguistics, tests, and urban education. Selected references, 4 figures, 17 tables illustrating earlier statistics, and an outline of the report's headings conclude the document. (KS)
