Determinants of Educational Plans of the Indeterminant High School Graduates.

Lam, Yee-Lay Jack

Journal of Educational Administration, v20 n2 p213-29 Sum 1982

Analysis of data from 797 high school seniors planning to delay further education reveal that socioeconomic factors significantly influence the types of school activities pursued and that these activities influence educational plans. Pragmatic attitudes, inaccurate assessment of educational levels necessary for desired professions, and new life-styles significantly deter further studies. (MJL)
