Report No. HRD-93-47
Subject
Summary:

The department charged with managing the federal investment in education and leading the long-term effort to improve education lacks a clear management vision of how to best marshal its resources to achieve its mission. The Education Department's history is replete with long-standing management problems that have erupted periodically and diverted attention from the policy agenda. Financial management at the guaranteed student loan program is a case in point. This report, one in a series of GAO management reviews of federal departments and agencies, identifies problems in the Education Department's planning processes and recommends implementation of a strategic management process.
