The Education Longitudinal Study of
2002 (ELS:2002) is a nationally representative study of two high
school grade cohorts (spring 2002 tenth-graders and spring 2004
twelfth-graders) comprising over 16,000 sample members. The study
focuses on achievement growth in mathematics in the high school
years and its correlates, the family and school social context of
secondary education, transitions from high school to postsecondary
education and/or the labor market, and experiences during the
postsecondary years. Major topics covered for the postsecondary
years include postsecondary education access, choice, and
persistence; baccalaureate and sub-baccalaureate attainment; the
work experiences of the non-college-bound; and other markers of
adult status such as family formation, civic participation and
other young adult life course developments. Data collections took
place in 2002, 2004, 2006 (two years out of high school), and now
will take place in 2012, when most sample members are around 26
years of age. This submission requests OMB's approval for the third
follow-up 2011 field test and a 60-day federal register waiver for
the 2012 full scale clearance

requests approval for the field test data collection burden.
