the Ameri-can Council on Education.\"This is quite a testament that people want a col-lege education.\"  \nCES found that nearly 12.4 million students were enrolled in higher educationinstitutions in the fall,151,000 more than at the same time in 1985.Enrol1-ment at public two-and four-year schools this fall rose 2 percent and 1 per-cent,respectively,while enrollment at private four-year schools was un-changed,CES reported.  \nThe center ear lier had reported that total enrollment would decline by 80,000students.  \nNo Downward Trend\"Projections of this year's enrollment had forecast aslight decline because of the shrinking number of traditional college-age stu-dents,\"CES said in the report.\"But no downward trend in enrollments materi-alized in 1986.\"  \nA number of the more than 600 schools surveyed by CES attributed the enrollmentincrease to improved academic progr ams,some developed especially for women.Women's enrollment rose 2 percent,while the enrollment of men remained un-changed,CES found.  \n\"Women students are more committed to completing college than they were adecade ago,\"E1-Khawas said yesterday.\"Women today are more career-oriented.\"  \nThe nearly steady
