    The Department of Education establishes policy for, administers, and
    coordinates most Federal assistance to education. Its mission is to
    ensure equal access to education and to promote educational excellence
    throughout the Nation.

    The Department of Education was created by the Department of Education
    Organization Act (20 U.S.C. 3411). The Department is administered under
    the supervision and direction of the Secretary of Education.

    Office of the Secretary

    Secretary  The Secretary of Education advises the President on education
    plans, policies, and programs of the Federal Government. The Secretary
    also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Department,
    coordinating and overseeing all Department activities, providing support
    and encouragement to States and localities on matters related to
    education, and focusing the resources of the Department and the
    attention of the country on ensuring equal access to education and
    promoting educational excellence throughout the Nation. The Deputy
    Secretary, the Under Secretary, the Assistant Secretaries, the Inspector
    General, the General Counsel, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Chief
    Information Officer are the principal officers who assist the Secretary
    in the overall management of the Department.

    Activities

    Bilingual Education  The Office of Bilingual Education and Minority
    Languages Affairs administers programs designed to fund activities that
    assist students with limited English proficiency. The Office administers
    the discretionary grant competition for 12 grant programs established by
    law and 1 formula grant program under the Immigrant Education Program.
    The Office also administers contracts for research and evaluation,
    technical assistance, and clearinghouse activities to meet the special
    educational needs of populations with limited English proficiency.
    Civil Rights  The Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights is responsible
    for ensuring that institutional recipients of Federal financial
    assistance do not discriminate against American students, faculty, or
    other individuals on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex,
    disability, or age.

    Educational Research and Improvement  The Assistant Secretary for
    Educational Research and Improvement provides national leadership in
    expanding fundamental knowledge and improving the quality of education.
    This Office is responsible for conducting and supporting education-
    related research activities; monitoring the state of education through
    the collection and analysis of statistical data; promoting the use and
    application of research and development to improve instructional
    practices in the classroom; and disseminating these findings to States
    and local education entities.

    Elementary and Secondary Education  The Assistant Secretary for
    Elementary and Secondary Education formulates policy for, directs, and
    coordinates the Department's activities relating to preschool,
    elementary, and secondary education. Included are grants and contracts
    to State educational agencies and local school districts, postsecondary
    schools, and nonprofit organizations for State and local reform,
    compensatory, migrant, and Indian education; drug-free schools; other
    school improvement programs; and impact aid.

    Postsecondary Education  The Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary
    Education formulates policy and directs and coordinates programs for
    assistance to postsecondary educational institutions and students
    pursuing a postsecondary education. Programs include assistance for the
    improvement and expansion of American educational resources for
    international studies and services, grants to improve instruction in
    crucial academic subjects, and construction assistance for academic
    facilities.

    Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) provides leadership to
    ensure that people with disabilities have services, resources, and equal
    opportunities to learn, work, and live as fully integrated, contributing
    members of society. OSERS supports programs that serve millions of
    disabled children, youth, and adults and that impact on the lives of the
    Nation's 49 million citizens with disabilities. It coordinates the
    activities of the Office of Special Education Programs, which works to
    help States provide quality educational opportunities and early-
    intervention services to help students with disabilities achieve their
    goals. OSERS' Rehabilitation Services Administration, among other
    efforts, supports State vocational rehabilitation programs that give
    disabled people the education, job training, and job placement services
    they need to gain meaningful employment. OSERS' National Institute on
    Disability and Rehabilitation Research supports research and
    technological programs that are crafting blueprints for a barrier-free,
    inclusive society.
    Student Financial Assistance Programs  The Office of Student Financial
    Assistance Programs (OSFAP) is headed by the Department's Chief
    Operating Officer and is the Federal Government's first performance
    based organization. OSFAP directs and coordinates those activities of
    the Department of Education which provide financial assistance through
    grants and work and loan programs to students pursuing a postsecondary
    education. The Federal student financial aid programs include: Stafford
    loans; Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS); Supplemental
    Loans for Students (SLS); Federal Insured Student Loans (FISL);
    consolidated loans; Perkins loans; income contingent loans; Pell grants;
    College Work-Study Program; Supplemental Educational Opportunities
    Grants (SEOG); and State Student Incentive Grants (SSIG).
        OSFAP provides leadership and direction for the Department of
    Education in meeting its goals of excellence in credit management and
    debt collection through the collection of defaulted student loans under
    the Guaranteed Student Loan Program and the Law Enforcement Education
    Program, and the collection of overpayments in the Pell Grant Program
    and Supplemental Educational Opportunities Grant Program.

    and Adult Education administers grant, contract, and technical
    assistance programs for vocational-technical education and for adult

    occupational training.

    dissemination of information and provides technical assistance to State
    and local educational agencies and other institutions and individuals
    interested in Federal education activities. Offices are located in

    The Columbia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, and

    U.S.C. 691 et seq.), changed its name to Gallaudet College. The
    Education of the Deaf Act of 1986 (20 U.S.C. 4301) changed the name to
    Gallaudet University.
        Gallaudet University was established to provide a liberal higher
    education for deaf persons who need special facilities to compensate for
    their loss of hearing. The primary purpose of the university is to
    afford its students the intellectual and spiritual development that can
    be acquired through a study of the liberal arts and sciences.
        In addition to its undergraduate program, the University operates a
    graduate program at the master's level to prepare teachers and other
    professional

    [[Page 250]]

    personnel to work with persons who are deaf, a research program focusing
    on problems related to deafness, and continuing education for deaf
    adults.
    Accreditation  Gallaudet University is accredited by the Middle States
    Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the National Council for
    Accreditation of Teacher Education, and the Council on Social Work
    Education.
    Model Secondary School for the Deaf  The school was established by act
    of October 15, 1966 (20 U.S.C. 693), when the Department of Health,
    Education, and Welfare entered into an agreement with Gallaudet College
    for the establishment and operation, including construction, of such a
    facility. It was established as an exemplary educational facility for
    deaf students of high school age from the District of Columbia,
    Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the rest
    of the Nation on a space-available basis. The school's mission is to
    provide maximum flexibility in curricula and to encourage the
    originality, imagination, and innovation needed to satisfy deaf
    students' high aspirations.
        The objectives of the school are to provide day and residential
    facilities for deaf youth of high school age, in order to prepare them
    for college or for postsecondary opportunities other than college; to
    prepare all students to the maximum extent possible to be independent,
    contributing members of society; and to stimulate the development of
    similar programs throughout the Nation.
    Kendall Demonstration Elementary School  The School became the Nation's
    first demonstration elementary school for the deaf by act of December
    24, 1970 (20 U.S.C. 695), which authorized Gallaudet College to operate
    and maintain it as a model that will experiment in techniques and
    materials, and to disseminate information from these and future projects
    to educational facilities for deaf children throughout the country. The
    School is located on the campus of Gallaudet University and is equipped
    to serve approximately 200 students.

    The National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) was established by
    act of June 8, 1965 (20 U.S.C. 681), and after several years of
    planning, programs began in 1968. Funded primarily through the
    Department of Education, it is an integral part of a larger institution
    known as the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
        The presence of NTID at RIT is the first effort to educate large
    numbers of deaf students within a college campus planned primarily for
    hearing students. Unique in the world, NTID is a vital part of RIT's
    main 1,300-acre campus in suburban Rochester, NY. It provides
    educational opportunities for qualified students from every State in the
    Nation and, through educational outreach, publications, and related
    service, serves deaf persons throughout the world. In addition, NTID
    conducts research to better understand the role of deafness in education
    and employment, and to develop innovative teaching techniques. It
    develops training activities for its faculty and staff, as well as for
    other professionals working with deaf persons across the country.
        One of the major reasons for NTID's success in helping deaf students
    join the mainstream of American life is its close working relationship
    with other RIT colleges in developing career-oriented programs of study.
    One of RIT's main strengths over the years has been its

    [[Page 252]]

    ability to adapt its educational programs to technological and social
    change, and NTID helps keep that tradition alive. It has served more
    than 7,000 deaf students since 1968.
        Deaf graduates from RIT have found employment throughout the Nation
    or have moved on to advanced academic studies. In academic year 1996-
    1997, of those who pursued employment, more than 96 percent have been
    placed in jobs. Of those employed, 71 percent work in business and
    industry, more than 5 percent in government, and the remaining 24
    percent in education and human services.
        The Institutes accept applications from U.S. residents, as well as a
    limited number of international students. An overall eighth grade
    achievement level or above is required, and, except under special
    circumstances, an applicant must have completed a secondary program. An
    applicant also must show evidence of need for special services because
    of hearing loss and have an unaided better ear average of 70dB ISO.
    International applicants generally are required to take the Test of
    English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and must provide documentation of
    availability of financial resources to meet the full cost of attending
    RIT. References are requested.
        Both Institutes are accredited by the Middle States Association of
    Colleges and Secondary Schools. Rochester Institute of Technology also
    has been accredited by the Engineers' Council for Professional
    Development, National Association of Schools of Art, Committee on
    Professional Training of American Chemical Society, Council on Social
    Work Education, and the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical
    Laboratory Sciences.
