| Summary: | This first interim report of the National Assessment of Vocational Education is intended to provide Congress with information that has emerged from some of the research conducted to date and to describe all the research projects underway. The report has two parts. The first part discusses trends in vocational education and issues concerning vocational education for disadvantaged persons. The second part contains profiles of the studies being conducted in each area of the study plan. Chapter 1 presents a brief statistical portrait of enrollment in vocational education at the secondary level as of 1982 and some preliminary evidence on change since then in enrollments. Preliminary findings show that nearly all students take some vocational education, but overall enrollment in vocational education courses appears to be declining. Chapter 2 (1) discusses the problems various disadvantaged populations have with vocational education services at the secondary and postsecondary levels; (2) describes the Perkins Act provisions to serve disadvantaged persons; and (3) identifies, on the basis of some preliminary field studies, how states and localities are responding to these provisions. Chapters 3 through 7 are profiles of the projects to be conducted in five broad research areas identified in the study plan. A synopsis of the Perkins Act is appended. No findings or recommendations are included in this interim report. (KC) |
