Abstract	While enrollment is declining in Ontario's elementary and secondary schools, the demands for adult education are increasing. This paper explores the possibility of integrating the two systems. The authors consider the conceptual bases for an integrated system as well as the effects of integration on administration, staff selection and training, buildings, teaching styles, and finance. The Education Act (Canada, 1974) is cited as evidence that school boards have the right to extend their activities to the adult population. The authors argue that school boards should respond actively to adult needs for technical literacy and basic education programs, with emphasis on serving those who never completed their elementary or secondary education. If boards are to avoid occupying a diminishing role in the community, they must become involved in programs for and recruitment of adult students. (Author/WD)
