Abstract	In 1968 Congress amended the Vocational Education Act of 1963. The amendments expanded the definition of vocational education and removed some of the narrowing strictures which had sharply differentiated vocational education from academic education, insisted upon state planning, and sought to strengthen the federal leadership role. Perhaps most important, the 1968 amendments mandated that portions of federal grants to the states be used to provide special programs or services for those who could not succeed in regular vocational education programs without such services. This report presents the findings and conclusions of a national assessment of the program. Chapter I discusses the meaning of the term "disadvantaged" and the question of whether the intent of the disadvantaged provisions of the amendments is being fulfilled. The second chapter presents a national overview of programming for the disadvantaged, a discussion of policy at the state and local levels, personnel and administrative techniques, the allocation of resources at the community level, and constraints and recommendations. The third chapter discusses the types of programs funded for disadvantaged students, including a statistical overview of the project sample. Chapter IV, the executive summary, summarizes the findings and conclusions of the study, and recommendations based on the study results are outlined. (RC)
