Appalachia Education for Tomorrow. Summary and Recommendations. A Report to the Appalachian Regional Commission from the Education Advisory Committee. Report 1.

Educational funding problems in Appalachian school districts were described in this report. Thirty-five recommendations were made in the areas of planning, regional education service agencies, early childhood education, and educational manpower. Federal education programs and their potential effect on the region were examined. Federal education issues were divided into 3 categories: inequity of Federal distribution of funds, penalizing Appalachian regional education; program coordination; and Administration and Congressional proposals which affect the region. Additional information about the Appalachian Education Advisory Committee was also presented. (PS)
