gressing toward six nationnl ed
ur.ition goals outlined Monday,
Cov. Barbara Roberts said

duals Panel issued a national
report card on headway being
made toward the schooling
goals for the veer 2000
The goals were established
two years ago by President
Bush and governors at an edu
cation summit meeting.
Rollerts said Oregon has tak
en steps "to remain a leader in
innovative change. Nothing
demonstrates this prim iple bet
ter than the creation of the
Workforce Quality Council and
the passage of the Educational
Act for the 2 1 st Century."
The act, for example, calls lor
adequate funds to expand Head
Start preschool programs for all
eligible low-income children by
1998.
The governor said this ties in
with the national goal ol ensur
ing that by the year 2000 all
children start school ready to
learn.
Sho said tIn? Workforce Qual
ity Council cun help rimt it u
goal of making every adult lit
erate bv 2000 and have the
knowledge and skills to com
pete in a global economy
The council is supposed to
coordinate numerous educa
tion, training and job place
ment programs around the
state.
Another goal c alls lur a high
school graduation rate of at
least 90 percent
Roberts said the education re
form law relates to that by ere
tiling certificates of mastery at
grades 10 and 12 and establish
ing a system whereby students
i an take primarily vocational
technical or college preparation,
courses alter the 10th grade
She also approved two other
parts of the reform laws the
lengthening of the school year
by 2010 ami the assessing of
students' programs at four
grade levels. Roberts says those
reforms cam help ensure stu
dents are competent in hash
subjects by the time they leave
high school.
