More accountability of public education agencies
Force provisions for additional oversight of poor public investment in education, as it has very important long-term repercussions for our future. - Today, there is no real accountability for the actual specific delivery of promised outcomes. Agencies that authorize educational expenses typically wrangle with authorization protocols and reward bureaucratic compliance, rather than the actual delivery of promised student academic improvement. Public funding in education should make recipients subject to stricter post-completion review and credible consequences for failure to deliver promised results (special additions and fund share allocations needed for oversight by independent consumer protection agencies - 10% of gross allocation?)
Why is this important?
Making sure that public funding for educational improvement is more responsible and effective. Today, much spending is made and little or no review is done to insure that recipients are made accountable for fulfilling their promises through strict post-completion reviews. Many recipients therefore learn to play successful approval routines repeatedly, while never showing real change promised. This has grave, long-term consequences that hinder our ability to prepare our children, and our nation.
