However, there are a number of issues that have been continuously arising as people try to avail of their rights to education.
State legislatures attempting to comply with state Supreme Court mandates to reform their education finance systems should strive to meet the demands of both adequacy and equity. The experiences of some schools and/or states regarding the influx of enrollees suggest that regardless of the catalyst for reform, education reform can and should include elements of both equity and adequacy.
More so, it should be noted that whether a state is in the initial stages of implementing court-mandated reform, like the Equal Education Opportunities Act, or whether it has been in the process for decades, modern reform should incorporate the lessons of the last thirty years of reform efforts in sister states. Those areas that are looking to their experiences for guidance, should experiment with district consolidation, attachment, attendance credits, and contracting with students from other districts. They should also take steps to alleviate "local control" issues by allowing districts to choose the method by which they will contribute to equalized state education funds.
As for adequacy, increasing state-guaranteed per-pupil expenditures is one way to ensure that schools have access to the funds they need to retain quality teachers, implement curriculum reform and accountability measures, construct and maintain schools, and meet the expenses...
Generating additional funds in the form of new or increased taxes, as well as earmarking those funds raised for education, are also necessary reform measures.
States have always regarded education as an essential component of a successful democratic system of government. However, in most states, it took judicial efforts to catalyze legislative reform efforts and encourage legislators to reiterate their states' commitment to education. Though most states required judicial efforts to catalyze legislative reform and encourage legislators to reiterate their states' commitment to education, successful reform requires state legislatures' continued dedication.

Equal Employment Opportunity The modern history of employment equity begins with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which extended employment equity rights to Americans regardless of gender, religion, national origin, race or color (National Archives, 2014). The CRA was, in essence, fulfilling the promise of the 14th Amendment, which introduced the idea of equal protection under the law. Employment in the United States is typically governed under the doctrine of employment
" (Kepple, 1995) Kepple questions if affirmative action is "really doing this" and states "the answer is no."

555). In their interpretation of United States v. Fordice, the Department of Education refers to the "sound educational practices" clause in Fordice by mentioning the "distinctive histories and traditions" represented by historically black institutions (Moore 2000, p. 556). Such histories, traditions, and techniques of cultural preservation are inherently valuable and educationally sound. Historically black institutions are constitutional also in the sense that they actively encourage choice among African-American applicants
Equal Opportunity Has the cultivating of equal opportunity programs helped the people of South Africa, and the people of the United States, move forward? The answer to the question would appear to be obvious -- given that equal opportunities have the potential to make life fair and just for any society. However, the facts do not back up the appearances of "equal opportunities" -- and this paper delves into the question
Representative Rosa DeLauro first introduced an identical bill in the House of Representatives on the same day. These Congresswomen have introduced identical legislation in their respective chambers annually since 2005. The Act was most recently introduced on March 6, 2007. (Absoluteastronomy.com, n.d.)
