"With critical federal data systems facing unprecedented uncertainty, our latest project will tackle some of the most pressing questions about how to modernize and streamline vital federal data collections and create a shared vision for strengthening the evidence base for postsecondary policy and practice."
"The task force will work over the next two years to produce papers on the federal role in data collection and dissemination, leveraging state and administrative data in federal data collections, increasing data access while protecting privacy, and utilizing emerging technologies, including the role of artificial intelligence."
"NCES houses the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and the connected College Navigator website, which parents and prospective students can use to research colleges they're interested in."
The Institute for Higher Education Policy has established a 22-member NCES Next Task Force to address the disruption caused by recent layoffs at the National Center for Education Statistics. The task force includes former NCES officials, think tank representatives, education professors, and policy experts from both political perspectives. Over two years, the group will produce papers examining the federal role in data collection, integration of state and administrative data, privacy protections, and emerging technologies including artificial intelligence. The work will culminate in a comprehensive blueprint for rebuilding the federal postsecondary data system. NCES manages critical resources like the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and College Navigator, which serve students and families researching higher education options.
