The National Study of American Indian Education - Recommendations

The National Study of American Indian Education has concluded that decisions about Indian education should be increasingly made by Indians themselves. This includes more Indians being elected to local school boards, more activity by tribal education committees, and more experimental contacts between the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian organizations. The study also recommends that funds be provided by governments for special educational programs in cities with 100 or more Indian children, that curriculum be compatible with Indian needs, and that in-service training be provided for teachers who have Indian pupils.
