The Boston Globe Begins a New Column on Education

Posted on September 30, 1998

The Boston Globe this week began publication of The Learning Curve, a new weekly column dedicated to the topic of education. Appearing on Tuesdays on page 2 of the Globe's Metro/Region section, the column will cover educational news and information in Greater Boston and New England from grades kindergarten through college. It will be written by three Globe staff reporters who write about education full-time: Jordana Hart, on suburban education from kindergarten through grade 12; Beth Daley, on the Boston Public Schools; and Kate Zernicke, on higher education.

Items published in the first column on September 29 included a report on the elimination of February and April vacations in some school systems; a state department of education program to help public school teachers pay off students loans; a program by Boston's Teen Empowerment to help high school freshmen make the transition from middle school to high school; and the appearance of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton at the Massachusetts College of Art's 125th anniversary dinner on December 5.
