Our States. local schools and colleges and universities have responded to the challenges that were first put forth to the Nation in the 1983 report. "A Nation at Risk." They have responded by requiring tougher high school graduation requirements. improving textbooks and instructional materials. increasing the time students are in class. and reforming teacher preparation. Further. we can point to greater business and corporate participation and support in improving our childrens education. Our education system has made great strides in providing services to a broad spectrum of individuals. However. the system has not been as successful in meeting the needs of those who are not in the mainstreamincluding the disadvantaged. women and immigrants. As we look to those who we will be depending on to fill our future work force needs. we are looking to exactly those who have historically fallen through the cracks. We cannot allow such a situation to continue.
