Funding Lifelong Learning--A National Priority.
Warford, Larry J.
Community College Journal, v72 n3 p15-23 Jan 2002
Discusses a 50-state survey by the National Council for Continuing Education regarding the issue of funding for noncredit courses in community colleges. Reports that 17 states include noncredit courses for funding on an FTE basis, and that no states fund hobby, avocational, or recreation non-credit classes. Argues that lifelong learning is a crucial factor in American economics. Contains four tables. (NB)
