1 Federal Aids to Education 1 (1965)

handle is hein.tera/faldstoio0001 and id is 1 raw text is: SPECIAL REPORT3 1965-1 FEDERAL AIDS TO EDUCATION A Background Report The Federal budget for the fiscal year 1966 calls for increased Federal support for education. Administrative budget expenditures for education programs in the coming fiscal year are projected at almost 2.7 billion. This represents an increase of i.2 billion -- or more than 75 percent -- over the current year. As recently as fiscal 1960, Federal expenditures for education to- taled less than a billion dollars -- 886 million to be exact. Between the fiscal years 1956 and 1966 Federal spending in support of education at all levels will have increased more than seven and a half times, from $343 million to S2.7 billion. About $360 million of the projected increase in spending for educa- tion in fiscal 1966 will be for new aid-to-education programs enacted by the last (88th) Congress. These programs included aids for college facilities, additional Federal loans and fellowships for students enrolled in higher education, increased assistance for the training of physicians, dentists, and nurses, and additional Federal support for vocational training. Another $600 million of the projected increase in administrative budget expenditures for the support of education in fiscal 1966 is for new programs -- providing assistance to elementary and secondary schools as well as higher education -- proposed for enactment this year. Legislation to implement the $1.3 billion elementary and secondary school aid proposals has already been enacted (Public Law 89-1-0). Many Washington observors also predict enactment this year of the $260 million higher education aid bill now under considera- tion. In view of these major new aid-to-education programs and proposals, it is of interest to examine the scope and direction of Federal sup- port for education over recent years, and to consider these new programs in relationship to the purposes for which Federal funds have been provided heretofore.
