Students in U.S.public schools have been hitting the books harder these days－and their efforts appear to be paying off in the form of higher test scores and more graduating high school seniors going to college.That’s according to Education Secretary Richard Riley,who says a five-year study of the public school systems in the nation shows students are performing better in reading,science ad maths.He says they are also taking more difficult classes.Third of the students went on to college while the rest headed off to farm,factory or homemaking.About 67 percent of graduating high school seniors now go directly on to college compared to 60 percent 10 years ago.Educ-

ators,Riley said,are beginning to take steps to meet students’ various needs—including special education,special schools and programs for non-English speakers.He expected technology would lead to an education system less reliant on(依赖于) bricks-and-mortar buildings and fixed-class timetable.

Riley’s description of the coming education was mostly rosy,but he admitted that some students in lower-

income and minority districts were still struggling,“This is a gapping hole in our plan to complete the American promise,and it will only get bigger if we do not close the difference,” he said.

Riley encouraged the business groups to do more to support education in their towns and cities,and suggested school districts improving both teacher training and salaries.
