           Prisoners of Time Report Available On-line
                          May 14, 1994

Two years ago, Congress established an independent advisory body
to examine the relationship between time and learning in school.

The "National Education Commission on Time and Learning," as it
was called, met 18 times.  It visited 19 schools and education
programs, and it listened to more than 150 teachers,
administrators, parents, students and others.

On May 5, 1994, the commission issued its report on time and
learning in America's schools.  The full report, "Prisoners of
Time," is now available on the ED/OERI Gopher Server for on-line
reading or downloading, under

   U.S. Department of Education/OERI Publications/

         Nat'l Education Commission on Time & Learning-Prisoners of Time/

The report will be a major focus of the next Department of Education
GOALS 2000 Satellite Town Meeting, "Time--a Missing Element of the
School Reform Debate."  The meeting will be hosted by U.S.
Secretary of Education Dick Riley and Deputy Secretary Madeleine
Kunin on May 17th at 8:30 p.m. EDT.

Satellite coordinates for the Town Meeting change from month to month.
