Summary:
|
Distressed that 25 percent of the country's World War I draftees were uneducated and 9 percent were physically unfit, representatives of the National Education Association and the American Legion met in 1919 to seek ways to generate public support for education.
Consequently, American Education Week was first observed in December 1921. The NEA Representative Assembly called for one week each year to spotlight education and has been observed the first full week before Thanksgiving. Education Week is observed in all communities annually to inform the public of the accomplishments and needs of the public schools and to secure the cooperation and support of the public in meeting those needs.
The first observance of American Education Week occurred December 4-10, 1921, with the NEA and American Legion as the co-sponsors. A year later, the then U.S. Office of Education joined the effort as a co-sponsor, and the PTA followed in 1938. |
