This document is a summary of a study conducted by the Puerto Rico Vocational Advisory Committee to determine the effectiveness of the Vocational-Technical Education (VTE) programs in that country over a 1-year period. Predicated on the philosophy that improvement in the quality of education is dependent on continuous and comprehensive evaluation, this followup study is based on previous Council evaluation assessments. Resulting recommendations include: (1) Efforts should be made to equip the Research and Curriculum Unit with the necessary professional personnel with budgets appropriated accordingly, (2) Consultive services should be sought for external appraisal of career education projects, (3) Provisions should be made with industry to arrange short-term faculty internships, (4) Recommendations and findings of the Advisory Council should be used to a greater extent by State personnel in developing occupational education programs, (5) Efforts should be made to accelerate the implementation of the VTE information System with data updated continuously, and (6) Cooperative work experiences should be developed so as to involve students more.
