Bright students to get aid The Reagan administration is drafting legislation to give aid to bright college students who choose teaching careers, according to Education Secretary Terre1 H. Bell. Bell also said his department was working on a plan to pay undergraduates who are prospective teachers to tutor illiterate adults. “We are getting so many of our teachers from the bottom 25 percent of those who take the college entrance exam; we really need to get more scholarly people into teaching,” Bell said. Bell said he hopes these ideas, along with his advocacy of creating a new and better-paid position of “master teacher” in the elementary and secondary schools, would be the Reagan administration’s major contribution to the current drive for higher standards in U.S. schools. Students want better guidance College students want better guidance and advice on what courses to take and which careers to pursue, according to a survey conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles. A sizable majority of the 1,600 students interviewed across the United States was dissatisfied with the advice given by academic and career counselors. The poll found that 84 percent of the seniors said they were satisfied or very satisfied with the courses they took in their major field, and I ,*-,. - 78 percent said they were satisfied with the quality of instruction.
