Description: Report emphasizes need for improvement among North Carolina's black schools, and existing disparity between those schools and their white counterparts. Compares white and black schools on the issues of achievement, busing, numbers and size of schools, vocational education, teacher salaries and training, county statistics about student enrollment, programs of study, and student-teacher ratio. Addresses needs such as consolidation, transportation, building programs, establishment of vocational programs, teacher training, particularly in public and private colleges. Recommendations are for legislative appropriations to decrease the disparity between educational opportunities available to whites and blacks, and the formation of an active committee from the State Board of Education and several North Carolina colleges and universities, appointed by the Governor, to continue to study schools and make recommendations for improvements in African American higher education.
