Using Advisory Councils and Committees to Improve Vocational Programs for Rural Students.

Dellefield, Calvin

After reviewing several of the problems facing educators in our changing society, the author focuses on the specific problem of providing adequate vocational education for rural youth. The ideas of community involvement in vocational education via business and industry advisory councils, plus more money for rural schools, are seen as possible solutions. A list of the activities and services which may be provided by industrial and educational councils is included. (DB)
