Sex Equity in Vocational-Technical Education. Arkansas Status Report 1987-88.
Arkansas State Dept. of Education, Little Rock. Div. of Vocational and Technical Education.
This report provides information, in both statistical and narrative form, on the activities and status of the vocational equity program for the state of Arkansas for the 1987-88 school year. (The vocational equity program is designed to eliminate sex bias and stereotyping in vocational activities and to encourage students and instructors to become a part of training programs that are nontraditional to their sex. It is mandated under the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act of 1984.) Data are based on overall enrollment at both the secondary and postsecondary levels. For purposes of comparison, student enrollment figures cover three time periods: (1) the 1976-77 school year, immediately following the passage of the Vocational Education Amendments; (2) the 1986-87 school year; and (3) the 1987-88 school year. Instructor information is listed only for the 1986-87 and 1987-88 school years. Student enrollment information is provided by program area for: agriculture; business education; marketing and distributing education; health; home economics education; and trade, industrial, and technical education. Instructor information is provided for the same program areas. The report also describes state program activities, nontraditional scholarships, sex equity grants, resources available, and the single parent/homemaker program. A short assessment of the progress of the sex equity program is included. (KC)
