PUSH-EXCEL failing to deliver after funds and three years
A government report obtained by the Associated Press finds Jesse Jackson's PUSH-EXCEL program has not implemented the rhetoric that drew support. With $2 million in federal funds over three years, the effort relies on one shot activities like lectures and lacks a long term strategy. Operation PUSH disputes the finding, stating PUSH-EXCEL was meant as a crusade rather than a nuts and bolts program. The report is the third of four by the American Institutes for Research for the Education Department.
