چکیده
Federal support for vocational education, and for understanding its consequences, has a long history. As was true with previous vocational legislation, the recently amended (1998) Carl Perkins Vocational and Technology Education Act (Perkins III), directs the Secretary of Education to complete an “independent evaluation and assessment of vocational and technical education programs under this Act,” in this case, by 2002. As currently designed, this national assessment plan will include multiple components. This paper discusses the main issues that NAVE will address, and the research strategies that will be undertaken to address those issues.
