pinakabagong bersyon ng 1965 Elementary at Secondary Education Act.

There is no unified curriculum in the United States. Not only do schools offer a range of topics
and quality, but private schools may include mandatory religious classes. These religious
aspects raise the question of government funding school vouchers in states with Blaine
Amendments in their constitution. This has produced debate over the standardization of
curricula. 

 Curriculum Issues : sa Estados Unidos nga ay hindi magkakapareho ang curriculum o

(subjects na pinag-aaralan sa isang kurso). Ang mga paraalan nga dito ay di lamang
nag-aalok kung amo ang saklaw ng paksa at kalidad ng edukasyon, sa mga pribadong
paaralan maging ang relihiyon ay sapilitan itinuturo sa mga klase. Ang aspeto ng
relihiyong ito ay kinukuwestyon sapagkat pinupunduhan ito ng estado ng gobyerno
alisunod sa konstitusyon sa ilalim ng Blaine Ammendments (amyenda). Pinagdebatihan
nga ito para maging pamantayan ng curricula(paksa ng kurso). Mahirap nga nmn dahil
ang gobyerno ay naglalaan ng pondo private school na sila ang nasususnod sa kung
ano ang relihiyon na ituturo sa klase. Kung baga ang gusto nila ay dapat pare pareho ln
ang ituturo sa pangkalahatan.

SLIDE 16. Attainment

Drop-out rates are a concern in American four year colleges. In New York, 54 percent of
students entering four-year colleges in 1997 had a degree six years later — and even less
among Hispanics and African-Americans. Since the 1980s the number of educated Americans
has continued to grow, but at a slower rate. Some have attributed this to an increase in the
foreign born portion of the workforce.

 Attainment : Ang antas ng mga di nakakapagtapos sa kolehiyo (drop out) sa Estados

Unidos ay isa din nilang alalahanin. Sa New York nga ay 54 pursyento ang pumasok sa
apat na taong kolehiyo noong 1997 ay nagkaroon o nakapagtapos makalipas ang anim
na taon. Halos kakaunti pa nga ang di nakakapagtapos sa mga hispanics (latino) at
African-American ( black Americans) Magmula noong 1980 ang larangan ng edukasyon
sa America ay patuloy na lumago subalit mabagal ang antas nito. Nakuha nila ito dahil
sa pagdami dayuhang manggagawa na umusbong. O mga dumayo sa America upang
magtrabaho na napabilang sa mga di nakapagtapos sa kolehiyo
