Why America Needs an Education Amendment

The Southern Education Foundation (SEF) has released its report, “No Time to Lose: Why America Needs an Education Amendment to the US Constitution to Improve Public Education,” outlining the case for an education amendment to reduce gross disparities in the allocation of resources and funds for the education of the nation’s public school students.

The report analyzes the current imperatives for improving US public schools; recent trends in interstate and intrastate financing of public education; and the effects of radical disparities in educational resources at local, state and federal levels.

SEF’s report argues that education is now so vital to the nation’s well-being that Americans can no longer afford to maintain the current antiquated systems of public education, which fail to ensure all students a high-quality opportunity to learn irrespective of place, class or race.

The report also makes the case for why an education amendment to the US Constitution would provide a permanent framework to address gross disparities in educational resources and foster new, more effective relations between levels of government fro the advancement of public education.
