OCCUPATIONAL CHOICE AND ATTAINMENT OF ESN SCHOOL‐LEAVERS

The author has compared groups of educationally sub‐normal adolescents in special schools with others in special classes in ordinary schools, with regard to their choices of jobs and actual later employment. Among other related findings, it transpired that many ESN pupils made realistic choices of occupation as well as did the normal pupils, and were more stable in their jobs than the normal pupils.
