"Congress has required that the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) produce an annual report to
policymakers about the progress of education in the United States. The Condition of Education 2016 presents 43 key
indicators on important topics and trends in U.S. education. These indicators focus on population characteristics,
such as educational attainment and economic outcomes; participation in education at all levels; and several contextual
aspects of education, including international comparisons, at both the elementary and secondary education level and
the postsecondary education level. The three Spotlight indicators for the 2016 report provide a more in-depth look at
some of the data. Supplemental indicators, which help to provide a fuller picture of the state of American education, are
available online.
The Condition includes an At a Glance section, which allows readers to quickly make comparisons within and across
indicators, and a Highlights section, which captures a key finding or set of findings from each indicator. The report
contains a Reader’s Guide, Glossary, and a Guide to Data Sources that provide additional information to help place the
indicators in context. In addition, each indicator references the data tables that were used to produce the indicator, most
of which are in the Digest of Education Statistics..."
