The 2001 Regents CTE Policy
The use of Career and Technical Education
as a means by which students can achieve
state academic standards is a core concept
underpinning the 2001 Regents Policy on
Career and Technical Education. The
Policy created the Program Approval
Process, which has raised the bar for
program quality.
