Abstract
Sandia National Laboratories has been involved in education throughout much of its existence. Historically, the thrust of this involvement has been at the postsecondary level. At the behest of Admiral James Watkins, Secretary of Energy, Sandia is expanding its efforts with a greater focus on elementary and secondary education. The purpose of this study, conducted by the New Initiatives Department for the Strategic Studies Center, is to provide a foundation for Sandia's future activities in education. The study includes detailed analyses of dropout statistics, standardized tests, postsecondary studies, educational funding, international comparisons, and educator status. It also addresses future workforce requirements, the changing student demographics, and the education goals proposed by President Bush and the nation's Governors.
