Minority Student Issues: Racial/Ethnic Data Collected by the National Center for Education Statistics since 1969

摘要

The report is a reference tool devoted to minority student education for planners, researchers, policymakers, and reporters covering all levels of education. The report describes six broad minority student issues and relates them in a matrix to all National Center for Education statistics (NCES) surveys containing racial/ethnic data collected from 1969, the first year NCES began collecting such data. Descriptions of 32 of the surveys (the most recent ones for recurring surveys) follow the matrix. The six broad categories of minority student issues are: Preparation; Access and choice; Transitions; Persistence; School/institution climate, and Student availability projections.
