In its annual evaluation of the vocational and technical education program of Maryland, the Maryland Advisory Council on Vocational-Technical Education reviewed the State Plan and statistical record of the Division of Vocational Technical Education (DVE) for fiscal year 1972, and conducted interviews with representatives of DVE. Included in this report are the findings from an evaluation of: (1) the State Plan, including an examination of enrollments, program development, community involvement, special programs, post secondary programs, research activities, and inservice activities, (2) effectiveness with which people's needs are being met, including the availability of data for planning purposes, coordination of training opportunities, job placement activities, and provisions for career education, and (3) the extent to which Council recommendations have received consideration. On the basis of its evaluation, the Council recommended that: (1) community involvement in planning and administering local programs be stressed, (2) the State Department of Education give proper emphasis to vocational education research projects, and (3) the State Department of Education set more definite goals for serving the handicapped and disadvantaged.
