Federal Progress in Educational Research

Abstract

President Reagan's budget for fiscal year 1983 proposes to reduce federal expenditures for education, to disperse the educational programs now housed in the Education Department(ED), and to replace the department with a Foundation for Educational Assistance. The foundation would manage the few remaining programs of student financial assistance, administer the apportionment of block grants to the states, and maintain a program of information, research, and statistics to help improve the nation's schools.
