Education

Three hundred and seventy years after the first college in our fledgling nation was established to train Puritan ministers in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, it is no exaggeration to declare that higher education in the United States has become one of our greatest success stories.
Whether America’s colleges and universities are measured by their sheer number and variety, by the increasingly open access so many citizens enjoy to their campuses, by their crucial role in advancing the frontiers of knowledge through research discoveries, or by the new forms of teaching and learning that they have pioneered to meet students’ changing needs, these postsecondary institutions have accomplished much of which they and the nation can be proud. |

The national trend towards public preschool has been building in recent years. In 1980 only 10 states had public preschool, but as of 2005, at least 38 states plus the District of Columbia offered some form of public preschool.3 Three of these states offer voluntary universal programs, and two states are working on a plan for implementing universal pre-kindergarten.4 Of the 38 states with public preschool, at least 29 are relying in part on community-based settings, such as child care, Head Start or private preschool. |
