This document summarizes the responses from members of the public throughout the 50 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to a September 1994 notice in the Federal Register in which the Secretary of Education invited public comments regarding reauthorization of programs under the Perkins Act, Adult Education Act, and National Literacy Act of 1991. The following are among the topics covered: general issues in restructuring vocational education (VE) and adult education (AE) programs to achieve national education goals (promoting world-class standards for all students; linking VE and AE to broader objectives for achieving educational reform; and connecting VE, AE, and the School-to-Work Opportunities Act); crosscutting program issues (program standards/assessment, distribution of funds, corrections education, state plans/responsibilities, professional development, and data collection); issues related to VE programs and reauthorization of the Perkins Act (basic state grants, applied technical programs, tech prep, VE and occupational information data systems, and unfunded authorities); and issues related to individual AE programs and reauthorization of the Adult Education Act (state programs and state literacy resource centers). Appended are 16 supplementary tables of data about respondents and distributions of responses regarding major issue categories/subcategories by state and the notice published in the Federal Register.
