NRS guidelines indicate that these categories
are important to collect. The NRS isnt
currently requiring all of them, but the
possibility that these categories may be wanted
in the future is there. Also, the categories
that arent included in NRS Table 5 will tell the
Adult Education people (state and local) the
relative popularity of goals other than goals
measured by the NRS. This is helpful in
illustrating what is important to the student.
