Mississippians also believe that charter school and education
scholarship accounts, currently available only in certain
areas of the state or
for specific populations should be available to all students.
Specific provisions included
scholarships and loans to students in higher education, with loans to students preparing to be teachers and to those who showed promise in the curricular
areas of mathematics, science, engineering, and modern foreign languages; grants to states
for programs in mathematics, science, and modern foreign languages in public schools; the establishment of centres to expand and improve the teaching of languages; help to graduate students, including fellowships
for doctoral students to prepare them to be professors at institutions of higher learning; assistance
for the improvement of guidance, counseling, and testing programs; provisions
for research and experimentation in the use of television, radio, motion pictures, and related media
for educational purposes; and the improvement of statistical services at the state level.
