CEP 2012 Education Primer

The Center on Education Policy (CEP) recently released an update to its 2006 Public Education Primer. The 2012 edition highlights important and sometimes little-known facts concerning the U.S. education system, how things have changed over time, and how they may change in the future. Together these facts provide a comprehensive picture of the nation’s public schools, including data about students, teachers, funding, achievement, management, and non-academic services. The Primer is posted on the CEP website and can be downloaded free-of-charge.
