Abstract | Much has happened both in Vocational Education and in civil rights since the early days. One important development has been the rapid growth of the area vocational-technical school, a growth made possible in part by the Federal money assigned by the Vocational Education Act of 1963 and the amendments of 1968. All kinds of vocational schools have one thing in common: they receive Federal funds, and their eligibility to continue receiving Federal assistance depends on their compliance with Federal civil rights law. The Office of Civil Rights (OCR) will examine the compliance status of some 1,500 area vocational schools, in all States. This figure of 1,500 represents those schools with Federal financial assistance for which OCR has not yet been able to make a determination of compliance with civil rights law. Preliminary findings showed that compliance problems based on the race of students appeared to be relatively small, less than 10 percent. Two other findings of the survey that will have impact on each State vocational system were the chronic lack of minority instructors and discrimination on the basis of sex. (BP) |
