Are Block Grants the Answer to the Federal Role in Education?

Levin, Henry M.

Economics of Education Review, v4 n3 p261-69 1985

Reviews national interests in education and considers the effectiveness of different forms of federal grants in addressing those interests. Concludes that providing equalization aid is the only appropriate purpose for block grants since such grants do not encourage state and local agencies to concern themselves with national priorities.
