The Time is Now: Population Education. A Commentary and Annotated Bibliography.

The commentary which introduces this 72-item bibliography briefly outlines the scope and significance of population education, and comments on a few of the items included. Although population education has an as yet ill-defined relationship with reproductive (sex) education and family life education, the bulk of the items in this bibliography have to do with population awareness, and are in the form of reports, mimeographed papers, and journal articles. There are several items geared for direct classroom use, such as teacher's guides, model curricula, etc. Dates of the material included range from 1956 (one item) through 1969. The author states that the time is now because radical change is overdue in education, and population education is only one attempt to bring education into the 20th century. (JLB)
