The Jesuit educational tradition has existed for more than 450 years, and today, there are more than 150 Jesuit primary and secondary schools in North and Latin America. Jesuit Education at the Crossroads tackles the lack of research on these schools by bringing together scattered studies and asking experts on the issues about the current challenges for Jesuit education. The landscape pictured by this collection of essays suggests that Jesuit primary and secondary education is at a historical moment, analogous to a crossroads. After a crisis between the 1960s and ‘80s, these schools were consolidated, establishing themselves in national and international networks. But the twenty-first century has brought new challenges. For instance, the secularization of culture is demanding an update of the Jesuit educational project; leadership is rapidly shifting from Jesuits to lay men and women, with multiple issues at stake; and researchers and policymakers are asking new questions about the role of these schools and school networks for equity and inclusion in each region. The book touches on these and other points that will be very relevant for all who are interested in the Jesuit educational tradition.

This document reports on a congressional subcommittee's review of the federal role in education. The review included visits to 15 states and testimony from more than 225 principals, teachers, and other education stakeholders. The committee's purpose was to identify the steps that lead in the direction of either excellence or failure. The subcommittee found that successful schools and school systems were not the product of federal funding but instead were characterized by parents involved in the education of their children, local control, emphasis on basic academics, and dollars spent on the classroom. The central theme of the findings is that the federal government cannot consistently replicate success stories in the form of federal programs. Rather, the government should empower parents by reducing the family federal tax burden; encourage parental choice in education; return federal elementary and secondary education funds to states and local school districts through flexible grants; use federally funded education programs only for methods backed by reliable, replicable research; streamline and consolidate federal education programs; and reform or eliminate ineffective and inefficient programs. In short, the federal government should serve education as a research and statistics- gathering agency, disseminating findings and enabling states to share best practices with each other. The report was adopted by the subcommittee by a vote along Republican-Democrat party lines of 5-2. The 17 page minority report, "Crossroads Hearings: A Republican Assault on Public Education," is printed as an appendix. (RJM)

This volume presents the most recent research on Title I federal compensatory education programs. Over the past three decades, Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act has served as the cornerstone of the federal commitment to equality of opportunity. It is the federal government's single largest investment in America's schools. As Title I begins a new century, this book documents the program's history and points to the potential for its future, building on 35 years of research, development, and practical experience. The research and analysis it provides fills a void for systematic information that can help inform Title I education policies and practices. Title I: Compensatory Education at the Crossroads is essential reading for educational researchers and students working in the areas of social stratification and equity-minded policies, programs, and practices. It will serve well as a text for graduate courses on these topics in education, as well as in public policy, sociology, and psychology. Educational policymakers and administrators at the federal, state, and local levels who are concerned with Title I and programs for students placed at risk will find it an important resource in crafting policies and programs for this population of students.

The Mong as a people have experienced a series of formative episodes up to 2021. This second edition of Mong Education at the Crossroads have been updated with new information since 1999 when it was first published. As new immigrants in the United States, the Mong Americans have encountered tremendous social, cultural, and educational problems during their transition from Mong to Mong Americans. However, during their last four decades and a half in the United States, the Mong have adjusted amazingly and have made significant contributions to the United States. This book has examined their experience through education. This book is designed to be used as a textbook for courses in ethnic studies, Southeast Asian history and culture, Mong history and culture, culture and cultural diversity, and to be used as a case study in comparative and international education, social and cultural foundations of education, and in Mong ethnic studies.

The book Education at Crossroads is a broader and an updated version of the author’s dissertation entitled Relative Distribution of Socio-Economic Resources and the Performance of Certificate of Primary Education (C.P.E.), A Case Study of Gaitu sub-location in Meru District, submitted to the University of Nairobi as a partial fulfillment of his B. A. (Sociology) Degree. Education at Crossroads traces the educational challenges facing Kenya from colonial to post colonial times by taking the reader through an exciting "educational walk" by looking at the following: Phelps Stokes Commission of 1924, Advisory Committee for Education in tropical Africa by the British colonies office of 1925, Beecher Committee of 1949, Binns Commission of 1964, Gachathia's Report of 1976, Mackay's Report of 1981, Kiano's Report of 1984, Koech Commission of 1999, Education For All, Jomtien (Thailand) of 1990, UNESCO World Conference on Adult Education in Hamburg of 1997 and World Education Forum in Dakar (Senegal) of 2000 Education at Crossroads examines the challenges affecting performance in C.P.E. examination including the challenges facing the household in its endeavour to access this scarce resource. The book also discusses the role of material conditions of both the school and the household, income, "social class", education of parents, the role of headmasters and trained teachers, family size and the role of religion in C.P.E. performance. Education at Crossroads has also come up with the theoretical explanations as to why some education players and stakeholders in education sector involve themselves with malpractices in regard to examinations. The author finally looks at the importance of holistic approach to issues, then policy implication and then gives recommendations based on the research findings. The book can predict with some accuracy how the education scenario will be beyond the 21st Century.
