accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that

public records.
Title of Collection: National Household Education Survey 2023
(NHES:2023) Full-scale Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0768.
Type of Review: A reinstatement with change of a previously
approved information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 137,150.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 18,295.
Abstract: The National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES)
collects data directly from households on early childhood care and
education, children's readiness for school, parents' perceptions of
school safety and discipline, before- and after-school activities of
school-age children, participation in adult and career education,
parents' involvement in their children's education, school choice,
homeschooling, and civic involvement. NHES surveys were conducted
approximately every other year from 1991 through 2007 using random
digit dial (RDD) sampling and telephone data collection from landline
telephones only. Due to declining response rates in all RDD surveys,
NCES redesigned NHES to collect data through self-administered mailed
questionnaires for the 2012 administration, which
[[Page 8241]]
included the Early Childhood Program Participation (ECPP), the Parent
and Family Involvement in Education-Enrolled (PFI-E), and the Parent
and Family Involvement in Education-Homeschooled (PFI-H) topical
surveys. NHES:2016 continued the mail-based collection methodology,
while also experimenting with the use of web survey collection.
NHES:2019 continued the mail-based collection methodology and used the
same methodology developed in the NHES:2016 web experiment for the
majority of the sampled addresses. In 2019, 57 percent of cases
responded by web, 36 by paper, and 7 percent by inbound phone. Also in
2019, PFI surveys for parents of enrolled and homeschooled students
were merged into one survey instrument. NHES:2023 will again field the
ECPP and the combined PFI survey used in the NHES:2019. NHES:2023 will
use the same methodology developed in the NHES:2019 for the majority of
sampled addresses, but will incorporate lessons learned from
NHES:2019's methodological experiments. Furthermore, given the
potential change in the education landscape since COVID-19,
particularly for online coursework, NCES plans to conduct a debriefing
project with respondents during the NHES:2023 administration. The goal
of the study is to gain greater insight about respondents who indicate
that their child was enrolled in online courses. The debriefing
interviews are designed to understand the true schooling experiences of
these children and how well the survey functioned in capturing the
context of these children's virtual education experiences. The
debriefing interviews will provide information that will assist NCES in
understanding the NHES:2023 data on virtual education and in crafting
items for future NHES administrations that will more accurately capture
the details of virtual education.
