Developing a World Perspective on the Education and Training of Young Adults: An Appreciation of Edmund King's Contribution to the Field of International Post-Compulsory Education.
Ryba, Raymond
Comparative Education, v30 n1 p13-23 1994
In the 1970s, Edmund King's postcompulsory education research program in five European countries identified the educational needs of the 16-20 age group and influenced related national policy. During the 1980s, King led a research commission and a World Council International Network resulting in a common framework of themes for comparative researchers studying the education of young adults.
