Education's Responsibility for Career Education.

Overview & Synopsis

Education is today a recognized social and economic necessity. Increasing demand for career education is putting enormous pressure on educational institutions--elementary, secondary, private, profit, nonprofit, and higher. Problem areas are: career education program expansion, career education's dilemma (because it is not a recognizable part of the education structure), a vertical structure for career education, improving the education program, and the influence of career education on the educational curriculum (the increasing dichotomy between college preparatory and vocational education which must be destroyed). Public school programs, colleges, and universities must become recognized as an integral part of the career education system which provides opportunity for all people. (NH)
