A project involving literature and demographic data reviews, survey development, survey administration, data analysis, and document preparation was conducted in West Virginia to determine why blacks do not have sufficient enrollments in vocational technical centers and secondary schools. Three separate multiple-choice questionnaires were developed and administered to secondary students (809), parents (315), and community college students (276) from selected schools throughout West Virginia. Counties and schools were selected according to black enrollment figures and location. Samples were selected from total populations using stratified, systematic random sampling procedures. While this was not a statewide survey, the task force was satisfied that adequate information was collected for use in making accurate decisions about black populations in vocational programs. Data revealed that while overt racial discrimination is not prevalent in West Virginia vocational education programs, some discriminatory practices may still be in operation. Both black and white respondents called for more and better information about vocational programs, and it was felt that more should be done to recruit blacks and other minorities. Lack of role models was also considered a problem. (Responses to the survey are presented without comment, and enrollment data and parent responses are appended.) (MN)
