Vocational and Technical Education Selected Statistical Tables, Fiscal Year 1976. Vocational Education Information No. II.

Overview & Synopsis

This report consists of computer printouts of vocational education statistical data by state. It was compiled from state vocational education reports submitted to the U.S. Office of Education for fiscal year 1976. The series of state-by-state tables include nineteen relating to expenditures (e.g., by target group, by level, by functions), three relating to number of teachers, one dealing with teacher training, twenty-one relating to enrollment in various programs, and four relating to placements of program completions. It is noted that the data should prove useful to all persons interested in assessing the scope and progress of vocational education in the U.S. and particularly those concerned with planning and evaluation. (The tables reflect programs, services, and activities carried out during FY 1976; however, the expenditures include federal funds carried over from FY 1974 and FY 1975. Programs were financed by federal, state, and local funds and were conducted under the approved state plan for vocational education. Federal funds used to support the state programs were authorized by the Vocational Education Act of 1963 as amended, PL 90-576.) The appendix includes copies of annual vocational education report forms. (JH)
