National Clearinghouse on Transition from School. Abstracts [and Indexes: 1981-1983]. Vol. 2. No. 4.

This booklet contains abstracts of research reports, papers, and other material on the topic of young people and education, especially in the United Kingdom. The abstracts are arranged in the following categories: social and educational developments, programs, and periodicals. Within each of these sections, the abstracts are arranged and numbered in clusters according to prime subject matter. The subjects covered in this volume are the following: education (planning, resource allocation); higher education (access, control, students, financial support); programs (Commonwealth, community, transition, work experience); schools (character, approaches, outcomes, retention of students, student participation); experiences, attitudes, expectations, and destinations of school students; policy and programs of Technical and Further Education (TAFE), and attitudes and views of young people. (A list of the topics is provided at the front of the booklet.) For this final issue for 1983, the subject and author indexes are published separately from the abstracts and cover all materials abstracted from November 1982 to November 1983. (KC)
