BY THE COMPTROL.LER GENERAL

Report To The Chairman,

Committee On Governmental Affairs

United States Senate

OF THE UNITED STATES


Should The Bureau Of Indian Affairs

Continue To Provide Educational Services

To Indian Children?


GAO repeatedly reported during the 1970s
that the Bureau of Indian Affairs failed to
provide Indians a quality education, and that
severe management problems had persisted
for years. Recognizing the Bureau's poor per-
formance, the Congress enacted title XI of
the Education Amendments of 1978 to pro-
vide a framework for correcting the severe
educational and management deficiencies
which have thwarted the delivery of qual-
ity education to Indians.

The Bureau has responded to title X1 by
taking positive steps to correct its defi-
ciencies; therefore, a transfer of the Bureau's
education programs to the Department of
Education would not be appropriate at this
time.


If the Congress determines that the Bureau's
new initiatives do not bring improvements
in the  academic achievement  levels  of
Indian students within 3 or 4 years, other
alternatives such as a transfer will have to
be considered.
