All4Ed Comments on Proposed Revision to Perkins V Consolidated Annual Report
All4Ed strongly opposes the U.S. Department of Education’s proposal to revert the Perkins V Consolidated Annual Report to its previous version, citing major concerns about the loss of critical data collection, transparency, and accountability measures. These proposed rollbacks would eliminate consistent definitions, disaggregated outcome data, industry credential tracking, and middle-grade reporting—undermining efforts to identify equity gaps and improve Career and Technical Education (CTE) nationwide. All4Ed urges the Department to maintain these improvements and instead support states through technical assistance, phased implementation, and streamlined processes to ensure CTE remains a strong, equitable pathway to economic opportunity for all students.
