The reports comprising the document are from the State directors of vocational education, the National Advisory Council on Vocational Education, and the State Advisory Councils on Vocational Education. The reports from the State directors form Part 1, the largest part of the document, presenting the most comprehensive and detailed information on the implementation of the Vocational Education Amendments of 1968 in each of the States and in the other jurisdictions. The reports vary in length, but most are about 10 pages long. A brief introduction and general description of each State's program is followed by specific information, often accompanied by illustrative tables. Topics typically covered in outline include: post-secondary courses; disadvantaged, handicapped, and adult students; financing; exemplary programs and projects; residential vocational education; consumer and homemaking education; work study programs; research and training; and the State advisory council. A summary and recommendations conclude each report. The 1972 Annual Report of the National Advisory Council is in Part 2 of the document. An analysis of the reports of the State advisory councils for 1972 comprises Part 3. The analysis, prepared by the staff of the National Advisory Council, lists the components of each of the State reports by subject area. (AJ)
