Abstract | This report focuses on the responses given by 1,531 black high school students interviewed in 11 school districts throughout the State of Texas. It also reports on interviews conducted with a sample of black graduates, dropouts, and parents, school personnel, community people, and employers. Part 1 includes background material. The findings of a previous study in occupational education which resulted in these reports are briefly analyzed. The framework of the study is described in detail: project goals and objectives, general methodology, description of target populations, and the organization and phasing utilized in its execution. Part 2 contains an analysis of the characteristics, attitudes, aspirations, and problems of the black high school students interviewed in 23 high schools located in key metropolitan areas as well as a number of communities in East Texas. In addition, it summarizes the results of two other questionnaires and interviews administered to a limited number of black parents whose children are enrolled in vocational programs and a small sample of black students who have left school either by dropping out or through graduation. Part 3 incorporates other project findings gathered through interviewing school personnel, community people, and employers. Part 4 is a summary of the findings and a discussion of their implications.
