| NCES 2002322REV | CD-ROM: NELS:88/2000 Public Use Data Files and Electronic Codebook - Base Year through Fourth Follow-up
This CD-ROM contains public release data from the National Education Longitudinal Study:1988 (data files and updated electronic codebook for the Base Year (1988) through Fourth Follow-up (2000) of NELS:88). Data from the Fourth Follow-up interview in 2000 will permit researchers to examine what this cohort had accomplished 12 years after the eighth-grade baseline survey. The 2000 data were collected at a key stage of life transitions for the eighth-grade class of 1988-most had been out of high school for nearly 8 years. Many had already completed postsecondary education, started or even changed careers, and started to form families. This CD-ROM contains only the sample surveyed in the year 2000. For any analysis using only data collected prior to the Fourth follow-up, the NELS:88/94 CD-ROM (NCES# 2000328) is needed. |

| NCES 2000029 | Vocational Education in the United States: Toward the Year 2000
Vocational education at the turn of the century is an enterprise in transition. This publication addresses the primary question about the size of the enterprise at the secondary and postsecondary levels and whether it is growing, shrinking, or holding constant over time. The report also examines high school transcripts and presents findings about the academic preparation of high school students who participate in vocational education, relevant school reform efforts, and transitions after high school. To set the context for understanding these findings, the report describes economic and labor market trends and their implications for vocational programs, as well as changing workplace practices and employer perspectives on worker skills and proficiency. |
