Abstract	This document reports on Utah's progress toward achieving the six National Education Goals. The goals are discussed under the following headings: (1) Readiness for School; (2) High School Completion; (3) Student Achievement and Citizenship; (4) Science and Mathematics; (5) Adult Literacy and Lifelong Learning; and (6) Safe, Disciplined, and Drug-Free Schools. Each goal is covered in a separate section, and each section includes: (1) performance and status information related to the particular goal; and (2) examples of current and emerging Utah programs in each of the goal areas. A subsequent section describes other important Utah educational reform programs, such as The Career Ladder Program, The Incentives for Excellence in Public Schools Program, The Site-Based Decision Making Pilot Program, The Experimental and Developmental Program, and The Utah Partnership for Educational and Economic Development. The final section describes strategic-planning activities initiated by passage of the Utah Strategic Planning Act for Educational Excellence and outlines the Centennial Schools Program. Eight tables are included. (LMI)
