Summary

The National Household Education Survey (NHES) reports on the condition of education in the United States by collecting data at the household level rather than using a traditional, school-based data collection system. The surveys attempt to address many current issues in education, such as preprimary education, school safety and discipline, adult education, and activities related to citizenship. This survey included two topical survey components. The Parent and Family Involvement in Education (PFI) Survey (Part 1) addressed homeschooling, school choice, types and frequency of family involvement in children's schools, school practices to involve and support families, learning activities with children outside of school, and the involvement of nonresidential parents. The Adult Education for Work-Related Reasons (AEWR) Survey (Part 2) collected information about participation in college and university degree or certificate programs taken for work-related reasons, postsecondary vocational/ technical diploma or degree programs taken for work-related reasons, apprenticeships, work-related courses, and work-related informal learning. In addition, the survey explored factors associated with participation or nonparticipation in adult education activities.
