It presents evidence and conclusions drawn from visits to a 50-institution cross section of colleges and universities where teachers are prepared and from conferences with educators, government officials, students, United Nations personnel, and members of private organizations and public agencies. The "Introduction" reviews the methodology of the study and places it in the context of current activity in the field.

Chapter 4, "The Certification Question," deals with the role of federal, state, and local agencies along with educational associations and private organizations in teacher education. "The Cultural Element in Foreign Policy," examines the relationship between the education of American teachers and the conduct of foreign policy.
