The Forgotten Half: None-College-Bound Youth in America.

Phi Delta Kappan, v69 n6 p408-14 Feb 1988

Summarizes recommendations of an interim report focused on the 20 million noncollege-bound American youth barred from many high-paying positions, yet forced to make it on their own. Recommends various school-to-work programs, "added chances" for training, and enhanced lifelong learning opportunities and increased national investments in youth services. (MLH)
