Is High School Career and Technical Education Obsolete?
Overview & Synopsis
In the face of growing sentiment against career and technical education, the author asks readers to take a hard look at the advisability of limiting high school students' options. The viability of high school vocational education--now called Career and Technical Education (CTE)--is once again being questioned. The current federal Administration appears to hold the CTE curriculum in low regard. Its recommendation regarding the reauthorization of the Perkins CTE funding legislation is basically to scrap it. The Administration proposes instead to redirect federal funding for high school CTE, tech prep, and even postsecondary technical education toward high school academic education.
