§2399 — Title 20 Education | U.S. Code

Summary

The Comptroller General must study how agencies and programs funded under this chapter help students start and finish programs that lead to skilled, well‑paid jobs. The study must examine the strategies, policies, and practices that work for all students and for the special groups named in section 6311(h)(1)(C)(ii), and it must look at problems that make those practices hard to copy. The Comptroller General must talk with a mix of people from urban, suburban, and rural areas — students and parents, funded agencies and programs, teachers and support staff (including those who train students for non‑traditional fields), Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations, members of the special populations, and business representatives — and then send the report to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
