Equality of Educational Opportunity
Book • 1966
This report, often referred to as the Coleman Report, was commissioned by the U.S.
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in response to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
It assesses the availability of equal educational opportunities for children of different races, colors, religions, and national origins.
The study details the degree of segregation of minority group pupils and teachers, the relationship between students' achievement and the schools they attend, and various aspects of educational quality such as curriculum, school facilities, and teacher characteristics.
The report also discusses future teachers of minority group children, case studies of school integration, and sections on higher education of minorities and school nonenrollment rates.
