Abstract	This report examines the feasibility of collecting social indicator data on the: (1) status of women and minorities in education; (2) federal role in elementary and secondary education; and (3) condition of professional education. Previous projects conducted literature reviews and developed conceptual frameworks for these three topics, identifying dependent and independent variables. This report summarizes the availability and quality of data sources; lists research questions that can be addressed; and recommends ways to analyze, display, and disseminate data. About two-thirds of this document consists of bibliographic citations and descriptions of data which provide information on the topics. In addition, specific data collection strategies which might be used by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to collect currently unavailable data are suggested. It was concluded that sufficient data are available on the status of women and minorities in education. The data are disaggregatable by sex more often than by race, and therefore, the quality of data on the status of minorities is poorer than the quality of the data on the status of women. The report concludes that an overall perspective on changes occurring in professional education is needed: comparisons among professions should be made, and the effects of developments in one professional field on another need to be examined.
