Project ESP: Educational Support Plan for the Aged.
Tamburello, G. B.
As the nation's population of persons aged 65 and over increases to 20% of the total population by the end of the twentieth century, and as this group grows in size and political influence, their educational and related needs must be met. Educational support requirements include programs which will improve the individual's potential to lead a more worthwhile and independent life as well as those designed to educate and train manpower for service-rendering functions to the aged. The responsibility for providing these educational services must be shared by school boards, community colleges, and universities, although it appears that the community college is the most flexible comprehensive organization capable of acting in concert with school boards and universities. This dissertation presents a comprehensive plan for educational support services to the aged at Pensacola Junior College in Florida, including: pre-retirement education; continuing education requirements (adult basic education, career education, credit courses, cultural enrichment); manpower training for service to the aged; community service programs; library services; and federal, state, local, and private funding sources. An extensive review of the literature and a bibliography are included. (JDS)
