FY 2016 Annual Performance Report and FY 2018 Annual Performance Plan--U.S. Department of Education

Foreword

As required by the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Modernization Act of 2010, each federal agency must report annually on its progress in meeting the goals and objectives established by its Strategic Plan. The United States Department of Education's (the Department's) Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Annual Performance Report and FY 2018 Annual Performance Plan presents to Congress, the President, and the American people detailed information about progress in meeting the Department's strategic goals and objectives and performance metrics. This report accompanies the administration's budget request to Congress. The complete budget request for the Department will be available at .

This year, the Department is consolidating its FY 2016 Annual Performance Report and the FY 2018 Annual Performance Plan into one report on its U.S. Department of Education Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2014? 2018. The data included in this report for the FY 2014?18 Strategic Plan metrics are the most current data available to the Department. The Department's FY 2016 annual reporting includes these two documents:

FY 2016 Annual Performance Report and FY 2018 Annual Performance Plan
