		By the 2000s, standards-based education was embraced in most states and federal education policy with the goal of raising standards.

	Peer Review \| Winter 2003 \| P-16: Building a Cohesive Education System from Preschool through Postsecondary
		As it enters the twenty-first century, the United States is approaching universal access to higher education; fully 75 percent of high school graduates now go on to some form of postsecondary education within two years.
		And even as secondary education in the United States rushes headlong into standards-based reform, new research--into the links between high-stakes testing and student achievement, for example--is emerging that should strain the credulity of even the most test-happy of policymakers.
		In other words, the challenge is not just for secondary education to better prepare students for college but for all educational sectors together to prepare students for the twenty-first century.

	Report to the President on the Use of Technology
		The Panel on Educational Technology was organized in April 1995 under the auspices of the President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) to provide independent advice to the President on matters related to the application of various technologies (and in particular, interactive computer- and network-based technologies) to K-12 education in the United States.
		If the elementary and secondary schools that are available for student teacher placement have not yet effectively integrated technology into their own curricula, education students may be able to obtain some (though certainly not all) of the same benefit by studying examples of technology-rich pedagogy on videotape or interactive videodiscs.
		First, the Panel believes that the potential contributions of information technologies to elementary and secondary education are so substantial that minimum standards should be formulated and maintained for the use of technology within all of the nation's schools, regardless of the socioeconomic status of their student populations.
