EXCERPTS FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PLATFORM Reprinted From NEA Journal We commend the objective 'of the Republican administration in sponsoring the National Defense Education Act to stimulate improve ment of study and teaching in selected fields at the local level . Toward the goal of fullest possible educational opportunity for every American, we pledge these actions: Federal support of the primary and secondary schools by a pro gram of federal aid for school construction — pacing it to the real needs of individual school districts in states and territories, and re quiring state approval and participation. Stimulation of actions designed to update and strengthen vocation al education for both youth and adults. Support of efforts to make adequate library facilities available to all our citizens. Continued support of programs to strengthen basic research in education; to discover the best methods for helping handicapped, retarded, and gifted children to realize their highest potential. The federal government can also play a part in stimulating higher education. Constructive action would include: The federal program to assist in construction of college housing. Extension of the federal student-loan program and graduate- fellowship program. Consideration of means through tax laws to help offset tuition costs. Continued support of the East-West Center for Cultural and Tech nical Interchange in Hawaii . . . Federal matching grants to help states finance the cost of state surveys and inventories . . . Provision should be made for . . . the creation of a permanent, top-level commission to advise the president and the secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare . . . There is a temporary shortage of classrooms for our elementary and secondary schools in a limited number of states. But this shortage, due to the vigilant action of state legislatures and local school boards, is not increasing, but is decreasing. We believe, moreover, that any large plan of federal aid to edu cation, such as direct contributions to or grants for teachers’ salaries, can only lead ultimately to federal domination and control of our schools, to which we are unalterably opposed. EXCERPTS FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLATFORM Reprinted From NEA Journal “The right to a good education.” — America’s young people are our greatest resources for the future. Each of them deserves the educa tion which will best develop his potentialities. We shall act at once to help in building the classrooms and em ploying the teachers that are essential if the right to a good education is to have genuine meaning for all the youth of America in the decade ahead. As a national investment in our future we propose a program of loans and scholarship grants to assure that qualified young Ameri cans will have full opportunity for higher education, at the institutions of their choice, regardless of the income of their parents. The new Democratic administration will end eight years of official neglect of our educational system. America’s education faces a financial crisis . . . Only the federal government is not doing its part. For eight years, measures for the relief of the educational crisis have been held up by the cynical maneuvers of the Republican Party in Congress and the White House. We believe that America can meet its educational obligations only with generous federal financial support, within the traditional framework of local control. The assistance will take the form of federal grants to states for educational purposes they deem most pressing, including classroom construction of academic facilities as well as dormitories at colleges and universities. We pledge further federal support for all phases of vocational education for youth and adults; for libraries and adult education; for realizing the potential of educational television; and for exchange of students and teachers with other nations. As part of a broader concern for young people, we recommend establishment of a Youth Conservation Corps, to give underprivileged young people a rewarding experience in a healthful environment.
