THE CONTINUING EDUCATION ADMINISTRATOR:
MANAGER OR VICTIM OF CHANGE?

Change is the only constant in the world
of continuing education today. With the
deterioration of the economic situation
for all educational institutions, the
existence of their adult education units
is being threatened. School trustees

are examining their commitment to adult
education and some are ready to relinquish
all responsibility in the area to other
institutions. In institutions of higher
education academic departments and other
units are beginning to perceive the con-
tinuing education function as a way of
attracting a new clientele and a way of
increasing income. Typically those who
are viewing continuing education as a way
out of their current difficulties are not
eager to co-operate with existing continuing
education departments in the development
and management of such programs. Con-
tinuing education administrators are re-
sponsible for designing their programs in
ways that will guarantee their survival
in an increasingly unfavourable economic
environment. Political sophistication
and the competence to manage change are
becoming essential to the continued
existence and expansion of the services

‘which continuing education administrators

seek to provide for their communities.
FEE: $50. (includes lunches and materials)
