Education Counts: An Indicator System to Monitor the Nation's Educational Health

摘要

The report is divided into two major sections. Part I is complete in itself. It presents the panel's overall conception of how an indicator information system should be developed and concludes with recommendations for improvements in federal data collection and reporting in six major issue areas. Part I includes the information of direct interest to most general readers, educators, policymakers, and business leaders. Part II presents much more detailed information about the six issue areas. It is designed to provide analysts and researchers with more substantive guidance on each of the six issue areas, to identify existing data sources, and to cite gaps in the data and information currently available.
