REPORT OF THE

COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES


LM100132


Concerted Effort Needed

To Improve Indian Education


Bureau of Indian Affairs
Department of the Interior



In April 1972 GAO reported that the Bureau
of Indian Affairs needed to improve the qual-
ity of education provided by Bureau schools.
Since April 1972 the Bureau had done little
to meet the educational needs of its students.
    --Indian education for the 1970s had not
    been defined.
    --A comprehensive educational program
    had not been established.


The Department of the Interior should estab-
lish policies and procedures which will make
sure educational opportunities are provided
enabling Indians to compete in the careers of
their choice. The congressional committees
should more intensively monitor the Bureau
to insure that educational needs of Indian
students are met and, if adequate progress is
not made, explore other alternatives, such as
transferring responsibilities for administering
Indian education programs to another Gov-
ernment agency.
