The first of two parts, this portion concerns itself with administrative provisions according to these categories: general provisions, fiscal control and funding accounting procedure, State vocational education programs, vocational education programs for the disadvantaged, vocational education research and personnel training, exemplary programs and projects, residential vocational education schools, consumer and homemaking education, cooperative vocational education programs, and work study programs for vocational education students. These provisions constitute the basis upon which eligibility of the State for Federal funds is determined. Eleven specific appendixes from the 1973 State plan are not included because they are official Pennsylvania State and Pennsylvania Department of Education documents and have already been widely distributed.
