The report stems from a bill passed in 2001 to shed light on how the program works. The program, commonly known as TOPS, is Louisiana's major college scholarship program, with an annual taxpayer cost of $110 million. About 40,000 students receive aid. The study said students lose the aid because of a shortage of required credit hours far more often than they lose it because of poor grades. It also found that women receive 59 percent of the scholarships, while only 11 percent of the recipients are black. The report shows 65 percent of students who qualified for TOPS in 1999 met aid requirements for four years. Eighty-three percent kept their scholarships after the first year, 74 percent after the second year and 68 percent after the third year.

24. The Progress Of Education In Louisiana: Education Becomes A Top Priority In louisiana, stories of power struggles between the governor, legislature, statesuperintendent, state boards of education, and teacher unions are common. http://www.sedl.org/pubs/pic01/priority.html

Educational leaders in Louisiana are taking an approach to reform that focuses on the entire educational system to ensure that change takes place in an integrated way, rather than progressing in a piecemeal fashion. They are looking to the national reform movement for guidance and support in improving the quality of education for all students in the state. Teaching in Louisiana is expected to improve as teachers are given more resources, responsibilities, and opportunities to learn new skills. Students should have improved educational experiences as problems throughout the system are addressed. Let's look at how the story of education in Louisiana unfolds. Economic Realities Lead to Support for Educational Reform Economic realities have helped mobilize the general public to support educational reform in Louisiana. The oil and gas industry plays a pivotal role in the state. Louisiana is the third largest U.S. producer of oil and natural gas and is a center of petroleum refining and petrochemical manufacturing. During the oil boom of the 1970s and early 1980s, oil and gas accounted for 30 to 41 percent of the state's revenue, adding $1.6 billion to state coffers in 1981-82. Times were good; there was little incentive for the state to diversify its industrial base. However, what was good for the state economy was not necessarily good for public education.
