Projections of Educational Statistics to 1981-82. 1972 Edition.

This publication provides projections of statistics for elementary and secondary schools and institutions of higher education. Projections for the 10-year period from 1972-73 to 1981-82 are made for enrollments, graduates, teachers, and expenditures. Based mainly on 1961-62 to 1971-72 Office of Education data, the projections primarily assume that the past 11 years' trends in enrollment rates, retention rates, class sizes, and per pupil expenditures will continue through 1981-82. Numerous tables and graphs illustrate the data. This document supercedes a previous report cited under ED 066 807. (Author)
