Miminum Standards: Cure or Curse for Minority Children?

Brown, Frank

Education and Urban Society, v12 n1 p109-18 Nov 1979

The imposition of minimum competency testing in high schools must be seen in a social and political context. Since many minority students have received an inferior education, minimum competency tests may be seen as a means of preventing these students from receiving their high school diplomas. (Author/RLV)
