Abstract	Based on the premise that a well articulated island-wide program of vocational-technical education at the post secondary level can provide much of the impetus for socio-economic progress in Puerto Rico, this study is devoted to elaborating the master plan for an educational system consisting of 2-year comprehensive community colleges. Following an examination of Puerto Rico's present higher education system and the prevailing socioeconomic conditions plus a review of the literature to ascertain the characteristics of a comprehensive community college, several recommendations were made which, when implemented, would initiate an island-wide, planned, coordinated system for community college education. Among these recommendations were: (1) development of vocational-technical education programs within these colleges, (2) development of a funding system, (3) installation of a Planning-Programing-Budgeting System, (4) provisions for specific training for new and expanding industry, (5) development of a system-wide public information policy, and (6) initiation of an effort to establish "outreach" education programs in every institution within the system.
