Stay in School Says Leader for a Strong Future
A 1967 Stay-in-School campaign based on Lyndon Johnson’s call urges all citizens to support keeping youths in school. The piece highlights dropout costs, unemployment risk for non-graduates, and the need for educators and communities to engage potential dropouts and promote high school completion. It forecasts 32 million workers lacking high school education by 1975 if trends continue. Next week will discuss obtaining a high school equivalency certificate for those 20 or older.

Many youths respond to the push for better schooling though dropout rates linger. Last year 18 percent of 16 to 24 year olds left high school, down from 25 percent in 1960, yet the trend may not prevent 32 million adults by 1975 from lacking a high school education and qualification for the labor force.
