The Congress finds as follows with respect to improving education in the United States:
(1) A majority of public schools in the United States are failing to prepare students to achieve the National Education Goals. The Federal Government should support an extensive program of educational research, development, dissemination, replication and assistance to identify and support the best responses for the challenges ahead. A significant investment in attaining a deeper understanding of the processes of learning and schooling and developing new ideas holds the best hope of making a substantial difference to the lives of every student in the United States. The Office of Educational Research and Improvement within the Department of Education should be at the center of this campaign in order to coordinate such efforts.
(2) The Federal role in educational research has been closely identified with youths who are socioeconomically disadvantaged, are minorities, belong to a language minority, or have a disability. The Federal commitment to education was sufficient to serve not more than—
(A) in 1993, 1 out of every 6 low-income children in need of preschool education;
(B) in 1990, 3 out of every 5 children in need of remediation;
(C) in 1991, 1 out of every 5 children in need of bilingual education; and
(D) in 1992, 1 out of every 20 youths eligible for assistance under the Job Training Partnership Act.
(3) The failure of the Federal Government to adequately invest in educational research and development has denied the United States a sound foundation of knowledge on which to design school improvements. The educational achievement of minority children is of particular concern because at least half of the public school students in 25 of the largest cities of the Unite
