Which act focuses specifically on improving vocational education quality?

The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act is specifically designed to enhance the quality of vocational education in the United States. This act provides federal funding to support the development and improvement of vocational and technical education programs, with an emphasis on aligning these programs with the demands of the workforce and ensuring that students acquire the necessary skills for employment. The Act aims to promote access to high-quality educational opportunities and emphasizes collaboration between educational institutions and businesses to better prepare students for careers.

In contrast, the No Child Left Behind Act primarily focuses on K-12 education standards and accountability, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act addresses the needs of students with disabilities by ensuring they receive appropriate educational support, and the Workforce Investment Act is geared towards employment training and workforce development but does not specifically target the quality of vocational education like the Carl D. Perkins Act does.
