Delete. New quotation added from February 2017 also has the full term followed by abbreviated term in brackets before the initialism is used. The quotation where the initialism is found is actually extracted from a subsequent paragraph. The same trend is also found in all 5 quotations provided (refer to the source documents provided in the URL links). Note that this PDF file also has many other abbreviations listed in it, such as "21CC" for "21st Century Competencies". KevinUp (talk) 11:40, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
