Educational Challenges of the 1980's.
Wegmann, Robert G.
Education will have to face fewer students and less money in the next decade. The white middle class migration to the suburbs will cause greater concentrations of minority students in the large cities, intensifying the problems caused by non-English speaking students, and the increasingly isolated socioeconomic environment. Projections for enrollment in higher education institutions are more difficult to obtain due to a number of complicating factors, such as: foreign enrollment, part-time enrollment, and the state of the economy. The school curriculum will need to adapt to technological innovations, and the ability to use computers may even become a new aspect of literacy. There will also be a shift in emphasis toward lifelong learning, possibly with more alternating periods of work, leisure, and learning. (RJG)
