In this chapter, the Southern Education Foundation (SEF) make the case for an Education Amendment to the United States Constitution. SEF begins with an examination of why a high-quality education is vital to US national interests and contends that it is time for a fundamental change that embraces a federal guarantee of a high-quality education. SEF acknowledges the positive impacts of equity and adequacy litigation, while also noting that this litigation is unable to address radical inequality in the willingness or capacity of states to provide equitable and adequate resources for a high-quality education. SEF argues that an Education Amendment is the best approach for reducing radical disparities in the opportunity to learn and for ratifying public support for national leadership in education. An Education Amendment also would help to build public consensus for effective reform. SEF concludes by explaining why an effort to pass such an amendment would have a positive impact even if the effort was unsuccessful.

Positive impact of human capital on economic growth seems to be undisputable but its magnitude depends on to what extent high quality education and skills are demanded and valued by the labour market. This essay argues that the lack of demand for human capital cannot be cured by growing supply if other things remain intact. The author formulates 10 doubts concerning human capital absorption in the Russian economy. These doubts, supported by statistical and anecdotal evidence, relate to low quality of the Russian institutional environment which limits demand for labour and distorts its structure.

Transformation of education functions in the epoch of digital economy changes the content and types of risks concomitant to the activities carried out by schools. Schools belong to the most conservative types of organizations. However, the environment in which schools operate is constantly changing. An educational institution, as any enterprise, has to engage in the activity aimed at risk management. Manifestation of the risk is, on the one hand, fraught with threats and damage, on the other hand, with opportunities. Assessment of possible threats and risks allows timely projection of undesirable results, creation of a system for situational response to unforeseen circumstances and, in the final analysis, formulation of a strategy for development of the university which would allow achievement of modern high quality education, its fundamentality and conformity to important topical requirements of the personality, society and state. Causes of developing risks characteristic of educational institutions are disclosed. External and internal risks characteristic of educational institutions, sources generating them and the importance of managing them are analyzed. The analysis of risks made reveals multi-varied threats and opportunities in the external and internal envi-ronment of the institution and their ability to have a significant effect on educational, organizational and financial activities of the schools.
