The need for mass media training in non-traditional settings

Abstract

It becomes increasingly evident that the traditional university as we know it - set up with quite definite structures, periods of instruction, rigid progressions through involved curricula - does not always lend itself to education needs. There are millions of persons who will never be able to avail themselves of a university education. We do not have the luxury to write off these citizens who do not have the resources to become college graduates. It is dodging the issue to say that these individuals should be taken care of by lower- level educational institutions. There is a need for learning which is not satisfied by lower level education, but which is also not met within traditional university structures.
