The US Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has online the 2000 edition of the well-regarded
Condition of Education (last reviewed in the
June 11, 1999 Scout Report). This compendium of 65 indicators, selected by education studies professionals and based on data from various NCES studies, summarizes the health of education, monitors important developments, and describes trends in the major aspects of education. The weighty 340-page report is divided into six sections: Participation in Education, Learner Outcomes, Student Effort and Academic Progress, Quality of Elementary and Secondary Educational Environments, The Context of Postsecondary Education, and Societal Support for Learning. Two sets of supplemental tables, totalling over 100 pages, are also available. Users may download the publication in its entirety or by section in .pdf format.
