A Nation At
Risk for 25 Years
The
landmark education report, A Nation at Risk, celebrated its
25th anniversary April 26, 2008. The report’s disturbing
findings kicked off a nationwide series of major investments
and firm commitments to remedy the nation’s public schools.
To commemorate A Nation at Risk, Education Week has begun a
yearlong series on the impact of the report (see link
below).
