Direction for Native American education

"In 1998, President Clinton held a two-day conference on building economic self-determination in Indian communities. During the conference the Executive Order on American Indian and Alaskan Native Education was signed. The six goals of the order are to:

1. improve reading and mathematics
2. increase high school completion and post secondary attendance rate
3. reduce the influence of long standing factors that impede educational performance, such as poverty and substance abuse
4. create strong, safe, and drug-free school environments
5. improve science education
6. expand the use of educational technology"

Just an interesting tidbit of information. Since 1998, their really hasn't been too much controversy in the world of education.
