Together we can make it work: A national agenda to provide quality education for minorities in mathematics, science, and engineering
Given the projection that minorities will constitute 29% of new entrants into the nation`s work force by the year 2000 and given the current downward trend in minority preparation for and participation in science, mathematics, and engineering careers, the enhancement of minority preparation in science and technology becomes clearly not a choice, but an obligation and a national imperative. The nation must move quickly to restructure the process by which it produces, and redouble its commitment to producing a greater number of, minority mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. This report presents a blueprint for change in the nation`s preparation of minorities in mathematics, science, and engineering. It calls for a coalition of the major institutions and organizations in the public and private sector that determine, rely on, and care about the quality and quantity of minority mathematicians, scientists, and engineers that the nation produces. With an established national agenda, a common sense of purpose, and a strong commitment.
