site has extensive information on a very broad variety of topics. There
are pages dedicated to explaining the Department of Education's goals and
reform projects (such as Goals 2000). Many other pages are dedicated to
national education statistics. Links to education resources all over the
Internet. This is one of the most thorough Internet sites on education
that I have found so far. It should be useful for many research projects).
