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

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

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

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

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

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.
Vocational and Adult Education  The Assistant Secretary for Vocational 
and Adult Education administers grant, contract, and technical

supporting services and research for adult education, literacy, and 
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 
the Blind was incorporated by act of February 16, 1857 (11 Stat. 161). 
An amendatory act of February 23, 1865 (13 Stat. 436), changed the name 
to the Columbia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb. 
The name was subsequently changed to Columbia Institution for the Deaf 
by act of March 4, 1911 (36 Stat. 1422). The act of June 18, 1954 (20 
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

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.
