NCES Studies on American Indian and Alaska Native Education. Sponsored By the Office of Indian Education

摘要

The Office of Indian Education has worked with the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) to identify issues for study and to design surveys that will inform these issues of concern to the community. This work has meant increasing the numbers of American Indian and Alaska Native children in study samples in some surveys to be able to report on the population. In the case of the National Indian Education Study (NIES), NCES has conducted a separate survey focusing on Indian education and the role of Indian culture in education. Other studies and reports make information on the educational status and progress of American Indians and Alaska Natives easily accessible from NCES and the U.S. Bureau of the Census.
