| Summary: | To determine the relationship between the educational and vocational aspirations of students in Grades 9 and 10 and their sex and family background, a random sample of urban youth from predominantly white public schools was surveyed.

The results showed that the educational plans and vocational interests of whites and blacks were similar. Low standard of living was the major factor in low aspirations, indicating a need for programs to raise the level of living of all the state's young people. (BH) |
