In the modern industrial society, the education of young laborers in the employ of industries has been much demanded from the viewpoints such as manpower development, indestrialedecational cooperation, life-long education and so on. From the standpoints of social demands on non-formal education, equality of opportunities for individual education, and national institutions, their education has been emphasized as a natural right to be educated. However, the educational facilities, teaching personnel and organs of non-formal education for young laborers in the industries are in a considerably insufficient state.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the demands on the non-formal education of young laborers in the employ of industries and to show how the technical junior colleges, which have comparatively diverse educational data, facilities and personnel, give more desirable non-formal education to then through this analysis.
As a testing instrument, the questionnaire, drawn up by referring to non-formal education experts' research books and documents concerned with this study, was used. For this study, 800 young laborers were sampled from 5 industries in Kyong-in Area and technical junior colleges in the metropolitan area were chosen as objects of this study. The data were chiefly stated by frequency and percentage and the degree of demands on the contents of non-formal education was analyzed in priority order.
The results may be stated as follows:
First, the priority of the courses suitable for non-formal education of young laborers was in the order of Knowledge, basic and cultural education, professional education or education for technical progress, and technical education for a side job.
Second, most young laborers said that they had never received non-formal education, but that they would do it at the first opportunity because the non-formal education was essential. They wished to be educated in the nearby schools or their own workshops during one to three months by the means of lectures, shop practices and field study.
The results of the analysis of the data led to the following conclusions in ways that technical junior colleges give non-formal education to young laborers in industries
Firstly, programs shall be on a level of high school. The Knowledge, basic, and cultural education shall be considered preferentially.
Secondly, the courses that school career or skills can be officially approved should be established.
Thirdly, it's desirable to establish courses in the evening sessions in schools or young laborers workshops.
Foully, it is desirable ,to carry out lectures, shop practices and field study side by side in teaching methods.
