A second major section addresses technology in education for New Jersey, noting the major emphasis on awareness of technology education at the elementary school level, and the secondary level approaches to exploring, studying, and applying technology. Also included in the report are the Commission's recommendations, which are directed toward the commission itself, professionals involved in technology education, the New Jersey Department of Education, business and industry, and higher education institutes.
