This report focuses on a study that examined whether the implementation of the sex equity provision of the 1976 Vocational Education Amendments has resulted in equitable access to and benefit from the nation's vocational education system by women and men, girls and boys. The study focused on such issues as funding mechanisms; federal and state roles; local implementation; special needs of women; state sex equity coordinations; state plans, reports, and public hearings; administrators, counselors, and instructors; curricula and texts; and related legislation. Data in general showed that women have taken a greater part in vocational education, especially in sex-mixed programs, and less noticeably in non-traditional programs, than they did before the legislation was enacted. The report is organized in the following five sections by the major phases of the study: (1) an introduction to the issues involved and the methodology of the study; (2) an analysis of state reports and national and state enrollment data; (3) an analysis of recent research studies conducted to identify the impact of vocational education on women and men; (4) a description of the two public hearings conducted for this study and a summary of the issues raised; and (5) appendixes which contain analyses of state reports and enrollment data, a matrix of the contents of state plans, and other details of the study.
