Accountability Core Indicators
To continue to receive funding from Perkins IV Act, core indicators of performance are negotiated with the UH Academic Planning, Assessment and Policy Analysis (APAPA) office, State Office of Career and Technical Education, and the U.S. Department of Education Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE).
The new postsecondary core indicators of performance for academic year 2017-18 are based on students with 12 or more CTE credits. From the Perkins Act of 2006, 113(b)(2)(B), the indicators are:
