In addition, the graduates of this elusive program must eagerly hold a commitment to their fellow man and to the proposition that alternatives for orderly change do exist within our society. …

A Comparative Study Of The Educational Systems Of India And The United States, Jarugula Subba Rao
Student Work
To understand any system of education one must understand the people who created it: their land, history and culture. Each system of education is a reflection of its own culture. It is dangerous to generalize concerning any system of education without an exhaustive understanding of its culture.

The Development Of School Board Policies For The Alta Community School District, Paul L. Bjorkgren

The establishment of local school districts and the creation of local boards of education to administer school district affairs reflect this point of view. This decentralized control of education places heavy responsibilities on local boards of education. Although state mandatory laws and regulations governing education must be followed, numerous decisions on educational matters have been left to the discretion of local boards. It is not surprising that educational policy …
