The Adult Student at Secondary School: A New Zealand Case Study.
Cocklin, Barry
Studies in the Education of Adults, v22 n2 p195-210 Oct 1990

Major difficulties were financial dependency, part-time work, and external commitments. Adult students appeared highly individualistic on all characteristics. (SK)
