Today in Education #7 - Catching Up


Listen Later

We've got all kinds of things to talk about today. A new book, "Unequal Higher Education" draws attention to the large gaps separating the haves and have-nots in American higher education, and proposes solutions across the board. The U.S. Education Dept proposes to ease rules on accreditation for colleges and universities. We look at strategies for spreading innovation in American K-12 education. Massachusetts parents sue the state over their education funding formula. A rewrite of sex education standards in Texas could include lessons on contraception and gender identity.
