Quality Progress' sixth Quality in Education listing

Article Abstract:

The visible increase in Quality Progress' sixth annual Quality in Education listing is primarily due to the spurt in responses from K-12 schools in New Mexico. The schools are actively participating in New Mexico's two-year Strengthening Quality in Schools program which makes them eligible for the state's quality award for education. Such examples demonstrate the viability of quality in education both at the K-12 and higher education levels.
