Patricia. Cross, a research scientist at Educational Testing Ser- vice (ETS) in Berkeley, Calif. “In practice, however, most people talk- ing about lifelong learning are prim- arily concerned with adult learning because adults Present the new wrinkle in education.” Cross said it is an old-fashioned notion that adults have left their - school days behind forever. The en- ‘rollment of adults is rising, especi- ally in community colleges, and re- search conducted for the Commis- sion on Non traditional Study in- dicates that there isa massive move on the part of colleges ta attract a- dult learners. “By recent estimates, one of every four adults is currently in-- volved in some ‘kind of organized learning activity,” Cross said. ’Ex- perts-expect that by the year 2000, - when adults over 30 will make up the majority. of the popultaion, even more adults will be involved in y ew. tional so slowly taking shape through- Circle-K Club fosters versitility Are you a service-minded individ- ual?

This represents a significant increase over the num- ber of their parents and grandpar- ents who earned high school dip- lomas. And the more formal eae an adult has, Cross said, the more si likely he or’she isto seek addition- al education.

But adults seeking new learning experiences are not limited to tho: enrolling in colleges. In the: 1970's Cross pointed out, the number of a- dults attending adult schools, em- ployer-sponsored training programs or classes sponsored by churches, community organizations and sim- ilar groups increased three times as ‘fast as their Henig in the popu lation. 5 While many aus pursue learr ‘ing for personal sadisiaction; others cont. page 2 col. 32
