The Forum was initiated in response to the Hawkins-Stafford Education Improvement Amendments (Public Law 100-297) which established the National Cooperative Education Statistics System. The Cooperative System was created in 1988 to respond to Congress’ desire to create a mechanism for states and the federal government to work together to produce comparable and uniform education statistics for policymaking at all levels of government. The Forum’s mission is to develop and recommend strategies for strengthening a voluntary national education data system—one that fosters cooperation among existing local, state, and federal systems—to support the improvement of public and private education throughout the United States.  \nEarly in its existence, the Forum developed a strategic plan. One of the major goals described in the plan is:  \n“to develop a comprehensive core system of comparable local, state, and federal data useful to policymakers and educators at all levels of government. The Forum will identify and define the core data needed to operate schools and districts, to support state and federal program reports, and to guide education policy at all levels.”  \nIt was hoped that core data wou","cbCaikRTtAssTmFv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikRTtAssTmFv","pdf",638089,204,"English","# Foreword\n## Background and mission of the National Forum on Education Statistics\n## Establishing the national education data core\n## Purpose, scope, and recommended update process","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the basic data elements described in the report?\",\"answer\":\"The report aims to provide a common language for collecting and reporting comparable education data that supports education policy and the administration of state and local education systems.\"},{\"question\":\"Which types of data elements are included, and what is excluded?\",\"answer\":\"The recommendations cover student and staff level data elements.
