Is the Internet the Right Medium for a "Don't Quit Campaign?"

Wynne, Liam G.; Mai, Li-Wei

Research in Post-Compulsory Education, v7 n3 p353-59 2002

A survey of 98 British adolescents intending to continue postcompulsory education and 30 not continuing revealed similar levels of television, newspaper, and radio use. Internet users included 87% of group one, 42% of group two; the latter are less likely to have access. Among Internet users, only 40.8% use it for information on educational/employment opportunities.
