GAO's Study of Overseas Department of Defense Dependents' Schools. Testimony: Statement of William J. Gainer, Associate Director, Human Resources Division before the Subcommittee on Military Personnel and Compensation Committee on Armed Services, House of Representatives.
General Accounting Office, Washington, DC. Div. of Human Resources.
This report summarizes the 1988 study of Overseas Department of Defense Dependents' (DODD) Schools. The study assessed the quality of education, organizational structure, drug and alcohol abuse prevention programs, and teacher evaluation systems by sampling 10 schools located in the Philippines and by interviewing concerned administrators in the the schools' main district office and DODD School headquarters. The investigators noted that teachers are certified and evaluated as required, and that drug and alcohol abuse programs are being implemented as scheduled. On the other hand, one in seven graduating students do not meet minimum graduation requisites, teacher qualification files are often incomplete, and system responses to parental concerns have been inadequate.
