The extent of sex segregation in vocational and technical education (VTE) in U.S. high schools nearly 30 years after passage of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 was examined in a national study. The key findings were as follows: (1) sex segregation is pervasive in high school-level VTE nationwide; (2) sex segregation results in substantial disparities in the wages earned by female and male graduates of VTE; (3) sex segregation in VTE results in inferior educational opportunities for women and girls enrolled in "traditionally female" programs; (4) sex segregation in VTE results from discrimination in violation of Title IX; and (5) the scope of the sex segregation in VTE education has been largely ignored in the 30 years since Title IX was enacted. The following were among the 6 recommendations emerging from the study: (1) the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights should undertake compliance reviews of high school-level VTE programs; (2) all states should have an official responsible for investigating and remedying barriers to equal educational opportunity; (3) states should adopt compliance programs to prevent, identify, and remedy sex discrimination in VTE; and (4) the business community should exercise leadership, in partnership with schools, to promote nontraditional training for women.
