Educational programs for adults were growing fast in the US during the 1970s and 1980s. In 1985, part-time students accounted for slightly less than 45 percent of enrollments in credit courses nationwide. Those over the age of 25 represented nearly the same percentage. During the 1990s, adult part-time students are projected to become me majority population served by die nation’s colleges and universities. Women, who have accounted for two thirds of me increase in college enrollments since 1970, now comprise some 51 percents of students.

More and more people desired to improve their level of skills in different fields such as medicine, engineering, teaching, and accounting. Some states and professional associations have passed regulations requiring practitioners in licensed occupations such as medicine, accounting, and teaching to participate in a certain number of course-work hours each year.

Broadcast media are being used worldwide to teach reading and writing, specialized seminars and short courses as well as to provide university-degree programs. With millions of personal computers and videocassette recorders in use in the US, teaching through computer network is also growing rapidly. Electronic media offer the means for reaching populations that are homebound or geographically isolated.
