Program Planning for the National Institute of Education: A Summary of Four R&D Analyses. Second Version

This paper reviews analyses undertaken by four separate persons to examine the problems and goals of education and to suggest program priorities for the initial years of the National Institute of Education. The document describes the consensus concerning goals and the manner in which the different analyses move from goals to a list of programs. The author then integrates suggestions from the separate papers to present a single list of program areas. The final section describes the need for more exploration in each area before programs are actually designated and lists criteria for final program selection. (Author/DN)
