A Vision and Roadmap for Education Statistics
This new report, from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, reviews developments in using alternative data sources, considers recent trends and future priorities, and suggests changes to the National Center for Education Statistics’ (NCES's) programs and operations, with a focus on NCES's statistical programs. The report reimagines NCES as a leader in the 21st century education data ecosystem, where it can meet the growing demands for policy-relevant statistical analyses and data to more effectively and efficiently achieve its mission, especially in light of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 and the 2021 Presidential Executive Order on advancing racial equity. The report provides strategic advice for NCES in all aspects of the agency's work including modernization, stakeholder engagement, and the resources necessary to complete its mission and meet the current and future challenges in education.
This briefing was for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on April 7, 2022 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
