- Title
EDUCATION IN THE MODERN URBAN SETTING.
- Authors
SCHUELER, HERBERT
- Abstract
The article focuses on the problems of education in the modern urban society in the U.S. It mentions the need to use public schools in overcoming the growing social, economic and cultural problems of inner cities. It examines the urban education problems relating to de facto segregation, various efforts for desegregation including the redrawing of districts to make schools ethnically balanced, and the vertical reorganization of schools by changing the age spans of lower and upper schools. It discusses various measures that are being proposed for making education as the means of overcoming deteriorating social conditions in urban populations including expanding schooling to early childhood years, developing curricula that are desirable to students, and providing auxiliary services.
