This report gives the results, with commentary, of a recent Gallup Poll of public opinion commissioned by the Canadian Education Association. The poll reveals how Canadians feel about public involvement in educational decisions and what their general feelings and attitudes are about certain aspects of education today compared to when they were in school. As well as a regional breakdown (Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Praries, British Columbia), the report shows responses by age, sex, occupation, mother tongue, community size, education, and income. This survey was conducted by inserting a series of 12 questions on public involvement into the Gallup Omnibus Poll for April 1979. In total, 2,033 adults who were 18 years of age and over were interviewed in their homes. The results of the survey are presented in tables of percentage responses, and to help the reader, the significant high percentages are underlined in the tables. (Author/MLF)
