In the wake of that decision, educational leaders, legislators, and concerned citizens struggle to define Kentucky's educational needs and to find the means to achieve them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Path to a Larger Life\u003c\/i\u003e, made up of recommendations from a volunteer citizens' organization, offers the most sweeping analysis of Kentucky's educational needs published in this century. Concentrating on the connections between a weak Kentucky economy, high levels of poverty and ill health, historic educational backwardness, and limited financial support for education, the book offers a sweeping set of recommendations and a comprehensive plan of action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCiting founder Ed Prichard's admonition that \"it does not do to will the ends if you don't will the means,\" the book explains the need for increased school funding and increased taxation.

As a stimulant for higher public aspirations and a long-range plan of action, this new and updated edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Path to a Larger Life\u003c\/i\u003e is more pertinent than ever today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ePrichard Committee for Academic Excellence\u003c\/b\u003e is a private nonprofit corporation formed in 1983 to foster improved education in Kentucky at all levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 8.3 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 29, 1990\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44612931256455,"sku":"9780813101996","price":25.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/PjhLDC-95s9780813101996.webp?v=1779018612","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-path-to-a-larger-life-creating-kentuckys-educational-future-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
