named after the late U.S. Rep
resentative Carl D. Perkins, who
was a leader in vocational educa
tion programs as chairman of the
House Education and Labor
Committee.
“I would like to thank the
National Association of State
Councils on Vocational Education
for honoring me with this award. I
amy very proud to be associated
with it and Carl Perkins’ name. I
had the pleasure of working with
Chairman Perkins for a number of
years and I share his interest in
vocational education. I hop I will
be able to carry the torch for voca
tional education as well as Chair
man Perkins did,” Goodling said
upon accepting the award.
He continued, “As you know,
the Carl D. Perkins Vocational
Education Act will expire in the
101st Congress. I am especially
pleased with the timing because I
will be the Ranking Republican on
the Education and Labor Commit
tee. I will enjoy the responsibility
of rewriting the programs in voca
tional education.
“We have already begun the
work. Currently, the Department
of Education is busy with its
National Assessment on Voca
tional Education. This is a large
and amibtious study of the current
voc-ed system in America. I am
hopeful that the information
gathered will be helpful in giving
insight as to the needs for possible
changes in the current law.”
Goodling highlighted some of
the areas he hopes to improve in
the upcoming renewal of federal
vocational education legislation.
He cited the need for improving

business-vocational education
partnerships. “I believe we should
establish a better relationship
between the two. I think we
should be looking more at involv
ing the business community with
the schools. I believe we can learn
from the successful European
programs.”
Goodling also called on the
AVA to help assess priorities for
the federal funding programs that
already exist. “It is my under
standing that the money is getting
so divided that some school dis
tricts are receiving as little as
$1.24.1 believe you can help us to
assess priorities and help us target
the money better,” Goodling
remarked. He noted that the feder
al government provides about
11% of all money spent on
elementary and secondary voca
tional education in the U.S.
The Carl Perkins Humanitarian
Award was established in 1985 by
the American Vocational Associa
tion and is designed to honor indi
viduals who have demonstrated
the same humanitarian concerns
exemplified by Rep. Perkins. The
convention was the largest gather
ing of vocational educators this
year and AVA members came
from all 50 states.
Goodling, who will become the
highest ranking minority party
member of the House Education
and Labor Committee in January,
has been the ranking minority
member of the Elementary, Sec
ondary and Vocational Education
Subcommittee for 10 years and, in
that capacity, has been very active
in vocational education issues.
