Again, the National Center has collected an incredible amount of data
and arrayed it in a somewhat coherent manner for the average layperson.
The report substantiates what I see as a literacy worker. In fact, it
is clear to me that literacy workers must develop (and implement)
educational strategies that are more successful than those used in K-12.
That is a great challenge.

Subject: [NIFL-POVRACELIT:519] NCES report, "Educational Achievement and
Black-White Inequality"
FYI:
Would appreciate comments on this report from those of you who get a
chance
to review the findings.
-Mary Ann Corley
**************
The new NCES report, "Educational Achievement and Black-White
Inequality" explores the relationship between black-white differences in
educational achievement and subsequent educational and economic
outcomes,
including college attendance, college completion, and employment and
earnings. Using data from the late 1970s through the early 1990s, this
study makes comparisons between overall disparities between blacks and
whites, and disparities between blacks and whites with similar levels of
educational achievement, as measured by mathematics and reading test
scores.
