A Second Chance out of School.
White, Roger; Brockington, David

Explores objectives and realities of raising the school-leaving age in the United Kingdom in 1972 to age 16. Discusses attempts to provide educational alternatives for adolescents who are considered failures of the state educational system. Particularly successful have been programs which combined field and work experience with academic study and which offered students a chance to earn some money. (DB)
