AFC testifica sobre el acceso a programas de educación técnica y profesional

AFC testificó ante el Comité de Educación del Consejo de la Ciudad de Nueva York sobre el acceso a programas de Educación Técnica y Profesional (CTE) para estudiantes con discapacidades y estudiantes del idioma inglés (ELL). Se ha demostrado que la CTE ayuda a mantener a los estudiantes en riesgo, como los ELL y los estudiantes con discapacidades, comprometidos y encaminados hacia la graduación; pero si bien los estudiantes con discapacidades y ELL generalmente obtienen buenos resultados en los programas CTE de la ciudad, ambos grupos están subrepresentados entre los estudiantes CTE.
