The expansion of education to 1975

‘This is going to be an education program. We are going to eliminate poverty by education, and I don't want anybody to mention income distribution. This is not going to be a handout, this is going to be something where people are going to learn their way out of poverty.’Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States, launching the Federal Government's Headstart program in schools, 1965 (OECD 1981b, p. 2).
