This paper details the structural weaknesses of contemporary educational programming in the urban setting. It is argued th8;t the separate disciplinary approach to what are seen as multidisciplinary problems is dysfunctional and that the lack of. systematic evaluation procedures leads inevitably to the frustrat10n of desired program goals. Two programs are analyzed to illustrate this position (Head Start and Youth Service Bureaus). Special focus is given to (a) the school as in institution disposing both legitimate and illegitimate status, (b) ways in which the educational arena must be adapted to accommodate contemporary pluralistic society, (c) the interface between education and other critical arenas that make up the urban milieu and (d) a procedure for citizen participation in educational decision making.
