Clark said that the high school
drop-out situation was one of the
most important problems facing
those concerned with education
today. The problem becomes
twice as serious when you con-
slder the fact that almost all
types Of Jobs today require
some type of formal educa-
ton.
Clark said that one of the So
lutions to this problem was to
have a program of vocational
education that type of edu-
cation specifically designed to
prepare the student for some
form of work before he or She
drops out of school.
Another way in which h &
problem may be solved is for
the parents and teachers to keep
up with all the current trends in
the vocational education field.
Presently, there are over 10000
Job classifications listed under
the vocational education pro-
gram. Other classifications are
being added each Gay.
The rapid advance of technolo-
gy is responsible for the addi-
ton of many Of these new cate
CORES. Machines are being used
for almost everything today. and
all these new machines require
