[Libs-Or] NCES report - Projections of Education Statistics to 2014

[Ann Reed]

The National Center for Education Statistics has just released 
'Projections of Education Statistics to 2014.'
This report provides projections for key national education statistics 
on enrollment, graduates, teachers, and expenditures of elementary and 
secondary schools; and enrollment, degrees, and expenditures of 
degree-granting institutions. The report also contains state-level 
projections of public elementary and secondary enrollment and public 
high school graduates to the year 2014. The report notes that after 
increasing by about one-fifth between 1989 and 2002, enrollments in 
public and
private schools are expected to increase at slower rates between 2002 
and 2014. Enrollment in grades PK-8 is expected to increase by 5 percent 
between 2002 and 2014, while enrollment in grades 9-12 is expected to 
increase by 2 percent. Reflecting the increasing number of young people 
in the traditional college-age population, college enrollment is expected to
rise by 17 percent from 2002 to 2014. The number of full-time students 
is expected to increase by 20 percent during this period, while the 
number of part-time students is expected to increase by 14 percent.
