Thoughtful high school reformers have formulated the following questions about how effective is vocational education: Does vocational education work? Does it teach the necessary basic academic skills? Does it keep students who would otherwise dropout in school? Would students be better off using one-track academic oriented schools? Most curriculum-based studies hardly deal with vocational education as part of their study. They tend to study only the upper and lower track academic classes and how they differ as well as the differences between academic and nonacademic programs. This study specifically deals with the vocational education track. The objective of this study is to gather as much information as possible and draw conclusions about how effective are vocational education programs in high school. The study uses the mixed research method, which includes quantitative and qualitative research. Therefore, conclusions are based on careful examination of vocational questionnaires and systemic search of literature dealing with vocational education. There are four major conclusions that can be drawn from and is supported by our analysis of the information. (a) Non-college bound students who participate in vocational education programs will more likely finish high school. (b) Mastery of basic academic skills is affected very little by a student's participation in a vocational education program. (c) If vocational education students participated in other curricular programs in high school, the chances of them pursing a post-secondary education increased slightly. (d) Vocational education program graduates tend to have more job satisfaction than other high school graduates from other school programs.
