Quality Counts 2011 offers insight into the impact of the economy on education. The 15th edition of this benchmark annual report explores lingering concerns about the recovery’s pace and stability even as states and school districts seek to rebuild their budgets.
This year’s report also features a special analysis by the Editorial Projects in Education Research Center, which tracks several key economic indicators over time, unpacks education funding tied to the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and identifies education-related jobs saved as a result of the economic stimulus package.
