Description

During the 20th century, the U.S. was a world leader in raising the educational attainment of its population. This important achievement contributed to national productivity growth and extended economic opportunity to formerly disadvantaged groups in society. Now at the beginning of the 21st century, U.S. institutions of higher learning retain an excellent reputation for quality. Less confidence exists, however, in the educational system’s ability to meet broad economic and social objectives adequately. This report analyzes current institutional and financial arrangements in the area of education. It provides an overview of the conference’s themes and areas of consensus, as well as a synopsis of each of the formal presentations.
