Public Expenditure and Education

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how in the middle of the 1960s the United States, as part of the Johnson administration's Great Society vision of the modern welfare state, instituted a "Head Start" program of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) in a series of programs known as the "War on Poverty." The paper discusses how a generation later most of these programs have either ceased or been collapsed into later reform programs of the American welfare state. The paper points out, however, that "Head Start" has survived into the 21st century due, in large measure, to a remarkably consistent level of bipartisan support.
