Abstract:
The paper provides adult educators with information that they can use to produce perspectives for the future of adult education in the first decade beyond 2000.

Part 3 examines government and legislative trends shifting responsibility to the local level. Part 4 discusses planning issues involved in moving adult education from a marginal to a mainstream position in the U.S. educational system.
