The Young Adult Frontier and the Perspective of Continuous Change.
King, Edmund
Comparative Education, v28 n1 p71-82 1992
Discusses the "qualifications" required of young people to enter the adult world, and the role of education as gatekeeper. Suggests that rapid technological advances and accompanying worldwide social changes will force educational changes, away from industrialized models and toward alternative forms of "postcompulsory" education and lifelong learning.
