During 1993-94, the U.S. Congress passed several initiatives that offer great potential for facilitating progress in education. These include: (1) The Goals 2000: Educate America Act; (2) Individual Education Accounts; (3) the Family Involvement Initiative; (4) the Safe Schools Act (as part of Goals 2000); (5) the School-to-Work Opportunities Act; (6) the Improving America's Schools Act; (7) Expanded Head Start; and (8) National Service.
