Committee of Ten  

Definition

  • In the 1890s, the Committee of Ten's landmark report fostered the development of the emergent field of curriculum studies. Concerned with the problem of inconsistent college entrance requirements, the National Education Association (NEA), at a meeting in 1892, authorized the Committee of Ten to recommend standards for the various core subjects in the secondary school curriculum.
