The schools of today and tomorrow must answer the challenge of increasing technology with firm purpose, clarity of objectives, and an immense awareness of the necessity for humanistic response. Educational systems can meet this challenge through the development and use of appropriate curriculum by motivated and trained teachers and administrators. Present and future curriculum must be keyed to the demanding nature of future trends, be flexible enough to reflect the society it educates, and be current, active, and relevant to the changes forged by the new technologies. Since curriculum selections and presentations are primarily the responsibility of state and local governments, the National Science Board Commission recommends national leadership to coordinate efforts in developing curriculum that is relevant to students in a technological age. Recommendations by the commission reflect a plan for action which can be put into practice within structured school systems as they exist today. Specific applications at the school level also need to be considered to service the entire school community, students, and parents. Teachers and administrators need to be visionary, yet humanistic, in determining goals and setting means to obtain those goals. (DJR)
