Assessing National Data on Education.

Plisko, Valena White; And Others

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v8 n1 p1-16 Spr 1986

This study evaluates 35 federal and privately sponsored databases that report national education statistics in terms of their potential for informing policy deliberations. It argues that for all the national data collected, information is lacking on several major concerns, is often inadequate statistically, and is sometimes contradictory. Various improvements are proposed. (Author/JAZ)
