The author has reviewed and discussed the separatism existing among vocational, technical, and academic education and between secondary and post-secondary educational institutions. Results are reported of two national surveys to determine the perceptions of key State officials on the status of articulation of secondary and post-secondary occupational education programs in each State. Findings clearly indicated, "Separatism still exists with the nature and degree of difficulty in articulation directly related to the relationships of the agencies involved." It was revealed that State organizational structure had a significant impact on the articulation of secondary and post-secondary occupational education; where structures foster separate jurisdictions, special efforts to form lines of communication and interworking relationships were necessary for successful articulation. Several national efforts and State activities (North Carolina, Oregon, Florida, Utah, and New York) in secondary and post-secondary articulation have been included as ways to attack the problem. The author has presented the position that mistrust among educators must be eliminated and greater articulation between educational levels and subject matter areas must be established if a true educational continuum is to be realized.
