An overview of a series of 10 regional seminars to improve communications between schools and the community is presented in this report. The program format and a list of 1972 seminar sites are followed by the major addresses of experts in various fields which were presented at the seminars. The purpose of the conferences, as indicated in a statement of objectives by a businessman, was to sharpen the focus of occupational education as a way of looking at education for all students in a total system involving community, business, schools, and people. The 10 major addresses included in the document are grouped under five subject areas: Economic aspects of education and the community; how the local economy uses school products; how, where, and when people get trained; a plan for educational change; and a workable model for school-community relations.
