The Secretary of Education shall conduct a study of a demographically and geographically representative sample of institutions of higher education (as determined by the Secretary) on best practices of institutions of higher education that improve outcomes for students attending institutions of higher education who are parents or caregivers of dependent children. Such study shall include qualitative and quantitative research on— the enrollment, persistence, and retention of students attending institutions of higher education who are parents or caregivers of dependent children, disaggregated by race, ethnicity, gender, income, and the type of program in which such students are enrolled (such as an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degree program, or a certificate program); the effects of the availability of campus-based childcare services on such outcomes of students who are parents or caregivers of dependent children, including a comparison of students whose children are served by the campus-based childcare services with students whose children are not served by campus-based childcare services; enrollment trends of students who are parents or caregivers of dependent children to attend certain institutions or types of institutions, and whether such trends and preferences are based on the availability of institutional support services for such students, such as campus-based childcare, student parent centers, and grants under the Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program under subpart 7 of part A of title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 1070e ); the percentage of children served by campus-based childcare services who are the children of students, compared to the percentage of such children who are children of faculty, staff, and other community members, disaggregated by— race, ethnicity, gender, employment or student status (including faculty, staff, community member, and student status), and family income of the parent of such children; and only with respect to students who are parents of such children, the type of program in which the student is enrolled (such as an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degree program, or a certificate program); and the strategies used by institutions of higher education for integration of on-campus services for students who are parents or caregivers of dependent children with other State and institution-provided services, such as the supplemental nutrition assistance program established under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 ( 7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq. ), the program of block grants for States for temporary assistance for needy families established under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ), the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children under the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 ( 42 U.S.C. 1786 ), workforce programs including adult education and literacy activities (as defined in section 203 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act ( 29 U.S.C. 3272 )), and Head Start and Early Head Start programs carried out under the Head Start Act ( 42 U.S.C. 9831 et seq. ).
Not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Education shall report the findings of the study conducted under subsection
(a)to Congress, and make such findings publicly available. Such findings shall include information on the best practices identified by the Secretary to be most effective at improving outcomes for students attending institutions of higher education who are parents or caregivers of dependent children.
