Equity in Education: Low Priority in the School Reform Movement

Jones-Wilson, Faustine C.

Urban Review, v18 n1 p31-39 1986

The present call for excellence can be seen in previous cycles of educational reform. Recent reports and studies on reform lack a concern for equity. Concepts of equity, equality and excellence are discussed. Disadvantages for minorities in reform programs are pointed out. Alternative reforms are proposed to enhance equity for minorities and underachievers. (Author/PS)
