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. The general increase in adult participation is mainly a result of increased leisure time, the need to up-to-date information and skills, and the women’s movement, which encouraged women to begin or complete educational programs.
Rapidly changing technical fields such as electronics require constant updating of information in order for workers to remain effective. Four out of five US corporations with more man 500 employees now offer educational opportunities to workers, and many professional associations have educational programs for their members.
In the last two decades, a rapid increase in continuing professional education programs has occurred. 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.
Another major development, perhaps the most important for future generations, is me increasing use of radio, network television, and cable television for adult education. 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.
