Abstract | Existing information, drawn from regular statistical reports to federal agencies and supplemented by information from other sources, is presented to describe the status of publicly supported vocational education in 1975-76 (the year preceding the Education Amendments of 1976) and to examine implications. Individual chapters focus on who is served by vocational education, how well they are served in terms of outcomes realized, what resources are employed to provide services, what kind of community participation was utilized, and what kind of data base is available to support program planning, evaluation, and management. Major findings compare data with that of the previous year: 5% increase in vocational enrollment (primarily at the postsecondary level), no dramatic change in enrollment by sex in most occupational areas, a slightly larger percentage of disadvantaged and handicapped students enrolled, and a consistent growth in expenditures (particularly local and state) to support vocational education programs. Unemployment rates reported for completers of secondary and postsecondary programs are six percentage points lower than for other young people in their age range. Nearly one hundred pages of statistical data upon which the report is based are appended. (MEK) |
