This report, part of the Florida Department of Education Educational Needs Assessment Study, identifies eight critical learner needs and the target population most associated with each need. A first section is a selected statistical abstract that describes the Florida population, with a wide variety of information gathered from public and private agencies being provided. The next section sets forth the statistical results of an assessment made of seven perennial objectives -- cardinal principles enumerated by the NEA -- based on strategies developed by the ENAS task force. Following this section is tabulated data from a survey analysis of educational practices in all 67 Florida school districts. The data reveal that Florida education appears to be most relevant for whites, is lodged in the larger community's values and beliefs, and that nonconventional outcomes of education (delinquency, divorce, illegitimacy) have their origins in the community rather than in the schools. The eight critical learner needs are identified in a final section. A related document is EA 004 092. (Author/MLF)
