National Education Goals
On March 31, 1994, the President signed into law the Goals 2000:
Educate America Act (Pub. L. 103-227). The Act enunciates eight
National Education Goals for the year 2000:
All children in America will start school ready to learn.
The high school graduation rate will increase to at least
90 percent.
All students will leave grades 4, 8, and 12 having
demonstrated competency in challenging subject matter, including
English, mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and
government, economics, arts, history, and geography; and every school
in America will ensure that all students learn to use their minds well,
so they may be prepared for responsible citizenship, further learning,
and productive employment in our Nation's modern economy.
United States students will be first in the world in
mathematics and science achievement.
Every adult American will be literate and will possess the
knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a global economy and
exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
Every school in the United States will be free of drugs,
violence, and the unauthorized presence of firearms and alcohol and
will offer a disciplined environment conducive to learning.
The Nation's teaching force will have access to programs
for the continued improvement of their professional skills and the
opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to instruct and
prepare all American students for the next century.
Every school will promote partnerships that will increase
parental involvement and participation in promoting the social,
emotional, and academic growth of children.
The Secretary encourages applicants under these programs to
consider the National Education Goals in developing their applications.
Applicability of the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act of 1990
The programs announced in this notice make discretionary awards
subject to the eligibility requirements of the Federal Debt Collection
Procedures Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-647; 28 U.S.C. 3201). The Act
provides that if there is a judgment lien against a debtor's property
for a debt to the United States, the debtor is not eligible to receive
a Federal grant or loan, except direct payments to which the debtor is
entitled as beneficiary, until the judgment is paid in full or
otherwise satisfied.
