The Carnegie Forum on Education and th~ Economy, a program of the Carne ie Corp. of New York, issued a report last year outlining the re- form that school districts must im- P1;,ment to be more competitive. A Nation Prepared· Teachers for the 21st Ce tury' suggested: • Raisipg the standards for teach- e_rs and strengthening their educa- tional preparation. This would in- clude a_bolishing the undergraduate deg_ree m education and, instead, re- cru1tmg those with degrees in the arts or sciences. Those students then wo~ld be required to get a graduate, cbmcal degree that would replace st~dent teachmg with apprentice- ships.
