This paper evaluates the progress of the Coordinated Vocational Academic Education (CVAE) Program for disadvantaged students in Georgia for the school year 1970-71. Evaluation was based on changes in grades, attendance, and attitudes of students as compared with the previous school year when the new coordinated program was not in effect. The CVAE program grew out of two previous vocational programs, one a state training plan for disadvantaged students and the other developed in Forsyth County to combat their high dropout rate, negative student attitudes, and student frustrations and lack of basic skills. These two plans were evaluated and their most advantageous aspects combined into one program, CVAE, initiated throughout the state in the 1970-71 school year. This combined program was designed to help reduce the high dropout rate in Georgia by offering the students realistic academic and vocational instruction with work experience and individual attention. Data were collected through visits with school coordinators and random sampling of students. Conclusions from the survey data indicated that the new program appeared to be accomplishing its objectives and that its real potential was encouraging. Additional program studies and expansion of programs were recommended. (MF)
