NCES Releases Education Statistics Quarterly

This spring, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) introduced the first issue of the Education Statistics Quarterly to be published four times a year. The Quarterly was developed to address the needs of policymakers, education advocates, and their staffs, and designed with the goal of providing users with a single, comprehensive source of information about all NCES products.

Each issue of the Quarterly will include a comprehensive set of summaries and descriptions that cover NCES publications and data products released during a 3-month period. In addition, each issue will include a message from NCES on an important and timely subject in education statistics and a featured topic of educational importance with invited commentaries. The first issue of the Quarterly includes essays from John F. Jennings of the Center on Education Policy and Richard M. Ingersoll of the University of Georgia on new NCES data on teacher quality.

A complete annual index of NCES publications will appear in the winter issue each year (published in January). If you have suggestions for improving the Quarterly, please contact us at our Web site http://nces.ed.gov. Copies of the Quarterly are available for purchase from the Government Printing Office and free, while supplies last, from ED Pubs. You can also print copies from the NCES Web site. See page 8 for ordering information.
