Demographic Shifts and Educational Challenges in the 21st Century.
Green, Paul
School Business Affairs, v67 n4 p25-31,51 Apr 2001
Examines U.S. public schools' changing demographics and their effects on barriers to equal opportunity for racial and ethnic minorities. Disabilities of poverty, inadequate income, denied access to shared American values, and collective discrimination obstruct these groups' high educational attainment. Equity plans and monitoring must eliminate educational inequities. (Contains 31 references.) (MLH)
