| Abstract | Environmental factors, family relationships, school academic and social milieu, opportunities for achieving recognition, and general attitudes were studied in 10 rural Kansas communities. Five communities with high percentages and 5 with low percentages of students going to college were compared in an attempt to determine differences in values placed on education. Information gathering procedures included: (1) the administration of questionnaires to all students and teachers in 10 selected community high schools; (2) an interview with all parents of seniors in the selected high schools; (3) interviews with selected community leaders; and (4) a review and classification of educational news over a one-year period in local newspapers. Results of the study indicated that more students planned to attend college in communities that stressed going to college as a key to later success. Also, family influences were found to play a large part in the educational and occupational aspirations of young people. It was recommended that an attempt be made on a state-wide basis to increase aid and support of local youth in low-income communities where educational goals are not emphasized. A bibliography, statistical data, and sample questionnaires are included. (EV) |
