چکیده
In Illinois, agricultural education programs at the secondary level continue to experience enrollment declines (Craft, 1991). Data compiled between 1977 and 1986 by the Illinois Association of Vocational Agricultural Teachers (Witt. 1987) and the Illinois Board of Higher Education (Databook on Illinois Higher Education, 1986) from 1977 to 1986, showed declining numbers as high as 54 and 22 percent, respectively, in student enrollment in agricultural programs. These enrollment trends were not reflected by those reported for total student enrollment. Data reported during this period for secondary school enrollment showed a moderate decrease of 20 percent, while four-year institutions with agriculture programs only experienced a slight decrease of 4.2 percent.
