The federal Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education (OCTAE) negotiates with the Minnesota Department of Education to set annual performance targets for Minnesota's ABE system. At the end of each program year, ABE consortia report performance to MDE. MDE-ABE staff then report composite performance results for the state to OCTAE, through the National Reporting System (NRS). Individual programs or consortia do not report directly to OCTAE.
