President Donald Trump is proposing a $900 million increase in education spending to teach skills and trades, in what would be a historic federal infusion into a spending area thats been stagnant for years.<\/p>\n

The announcement Monday follows Trumps State of the Union push for career and technical education and is in line with increasing emphasis on the idea that there should be stronger career paths for students as alternatives to a four-year degree.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts maybe the largest investment in CTE ever,\u201d Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said during a briefing to education groups after the administration released its budget proposal.<\/p>\n

Career-technical education is already widespread, with 92 percent of students taking at least one career-technical class in high school, according to federal statistics. More than a third are described as concentrating in career-tech, taking at least two courses in a particular sequence.<\/p>\n

The spending increase is proposed in an Education Department that Trump is once again seeking to cut overall, this time by 8 percent. Trump has signed previous budgets that ignored his education cut proposals, with Congress instead increasing funding.<\/p>\n

Of the money, $680 million would flow through states to local schools and colleges through whats called the Perkins program, named after longtime Kentucky congressman Carl Perkins. Career-technical advocates have long argued that spending on the grant program isnt keeping up with rising costs. Jarrod Nagurka of the Association for Career and Technical Education said it would cost $400 million just to catch up with inflation over the past 15 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica needs this historic rebirth of innovation and access to high-quality CTE,\u201d said Scott Stump, assistant secretary for career, technical and adult education.<\/p>\n

Kimberly Green, the executive director of Advance CTE, which represents state career-technical directors, said that new money would allow for more instructors, more spaces for students, updated equipment and course instruction, and programs aimed at new demand areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt not only closes the gap, but it actually allows new investment,\u201d Green said in a telephone interview Monday. She said that career-technical education increases could win Democratic backing as \u201cone of those things that have gotten bipartisan support.\u201d<\/p>\n

In states like Mississippi, an increase in funding could help update instruction, said Aimee Brown, the states CTE director.<\/p>\n

\u201cWed be able to replace outdated equipment in some of our CTE centers that hasnt been updated in 10 or 15 years,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Brown said new money also could aid a shift toward higher-demand career sectors, as called for under the 2018 renewal of the Perkins law, and help more high schools create career academies. Such academies are meant to more closely link academic and career instruction on one campus instead of having students take academic and technical courses that might not be closely linked and might be on separate campuses. Now, Brown said, districts seeking to make that shift have to rely on local tax dollars and grants.<\/p>\n

Trumps plan also calls for a sharp increase in funding for a competitive grant program for new and innovative programs, and seeks to increase fees on immigrants seeking workplace visas, funneling some to higher career-technical spending.<\/p>\n
