Excerpt from Hearing on H. R. 6; Assessment: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Elementary, Secondary, and Vocational Education of the Committee on Education and Labor, House of Representatives Chairman kildee. The Subcommittee on Elementary, Secondary, and Vocational Education convenes this morning for the third of its hearings on h.r. 6, the Elementary and Secondary Education Amendments of 1993. This morning's topic is assessment. As many of you know, during the last Congress this committee struggled with the issue of a voluntary system of national assessments and what the appropriate Federal role might be in that. At the same time while we were wrestling with that, many States, such as California and Vermont, have been moving forward in developing new forms of assessment. The reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act provides an opportunity to further discuss the issue of national assessment, as well as to consider options for improving assessment in Chapter 1. As members of the subcommittee are very well aware, Chapter 1 contains requirements which have resulted in extensive testing throughout our schools. Questions have been raised about the use fulness of these assessments for improving instruction. One of my concerns has been how can we use assessment to really improve education and the delivery of education, rather than just getting statistics and figures.

These hearings were concerned with the authorization of the Higher Education Act 1998 amendments. The hearing focused on affordability of postsecondary education, simplifying the student financial aid system, and academic quality for students. The document reports testimony of representatives of professional associations and Pennsylvania postsecondary institutions. Some of the views expressed included: the need to simplify the application process and eligibility for Title IV student financial aid programs; the need to continue equal access to Title IV funds for private career schools; the Pell Grant Program as the primary source of financial assistance for community college students; the confusion and wasted time caused by frequent regulatory changes and excessive communications to colleges by the Department of Education; the desirability of reviewing the current needs analysis system to determine whether all relevant data are being used to calculate the expected family contribution; campus-based aid programs (College Work-Study, Perkins Loans, and Student Educational Opportunity Grants) that are crucial for students who wish to attend independent colleges; and the various performance outcome measures that should be used in addition to loan default rates to ensure the educational quality and accountability of colleges.
