 \nWednesday,January 30,1985  \nREAGAN ASSURES SENATE HE WILL NOT PUSH TO ABOLISH ED  \nPresident Reagan yesterday said he will not ask Congress to eliminate the Edu-cation Department,even though he still thinks its programs could be run betterif ED's doors were shut.  \n\"I have no intention of recommending abolition of the Education Department toCongress at this time,\"Reagan wrote in a letter to Sen.Orrin Hatch,R-Utah,chairman of the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee,which Monday held aconfirmation hearing on William Bennett's nomination to be ED's new secretary.  \nReagan,who in the past has said he would like ED removed from the Cabinet,wrote,\"I still feel that this is the best approach.\"But,he added,\"thatproposal has received very little support in the Congress.\"  \nThe president praised Bennett,head of the National Endowment for the Humani-ties,as “a proven,capable administrator with an unquestioned commitment toexcellence in education.\"Reagan said he has asked Bennett to \"advise me onthe best ways possible for the federal government to assist in 1mproving thequality of American education.\"Bennett Monday told the Senate panel he wouldlaunch a six-month-long study of ED's \"effectiveness\"if he was confirmed tothe top ED post.  \nIn response to Reagan's letter,Sen.Lowell Weicker,R-Conn.,who had requestedthe assurance from the White House,said yesterday,\"I am satisfied that theadministration will not seek to shut down the Department of Education,\"addingthat \"Dr.Bennett can now concern himself with the management and improvementof the department,not its eradication.\"  \nAt Monday's Senate hearing Weicker said he was concerned over the future of thedepartment,adding that\"much of this doubt could be dispelled by a simplestatement …from the president”(HED,Jan.29).  \nThe Senate panel is expected to vote today or tomorrow on Bennett's confirma-tion,and send its recommendation to the full Senate.Little oppositlon

teaching exam as a first step toward profession-alizing the teaching occupation.  \nAmerican Federation of Teachers(AFT)President Albert Shanker yesterday told aluncheon of Washington,D.C.,journalists that if teaching is to become a true  \n                                        (more)    \nJanuary 30,1985  \nSHANKER PROPOSES NATIONAL TEACHING EXAM FOR NEW TEACHERS  \nprofession,teachers must begin to behave and be tested like members of otherprofessions.Currently,Shanker said,the teacher certification process isconsidered\"a joke by any other profession.\"  \nThat current state-by-state method of certifying teachers is \"very inadequate\"because the tests are,\"at best,a minimum competency exam at the sixth-gradelevel,\"Shanker said.\"They're the equivalent of licensing doctors on thebasis of a elementary school biology test,\"he said.  \nBoard To ConveneShanker proposed that an independent,nongovernmentalboard of teachers,college presidents and citizens be convened within the nextsix months \"to study what it is a teacher should know,and how to measure it.\"From that information,he said,a national teachers exam would be developedthat new teachers would have to pass in order to be certified by the board.  \nThe \"hope,\"Shanker said,is that states would make passage of the proposedtest mandatory for winning teaching positions.The national teaching boardwould publish lists of states that agree to hire only those who pass the exam,Shanker said,effectively\"putting the heat\"on other states to do the same.  \nAnother incentive is that within three years after the tests are introduced,AFT membership would be denied to any teacher who fails the exam,Shanker said.  \nThe test itself would be in three parts,Shanker said.The first test wouldcover mastery of specific subject matter,followed by\"something that is miss-ing from almost ali teacher tests","cbCaiqQ0hiBDQoC1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqQ0hiBDQoC1","pdf",1796758,"English","# REAGAN ASSURES
