Adult Education Week

I hate this kind of stuff, but darn it all, it's Adult Education Week and that is a LOT more important than NATIONAL PICKLE WEEK. I have something set up for the Tuesday show, so check it out.

The three people who are planning to come are Philip Less, the state coordinator for the English as a Second Language program (he also can give a good overview of the various Adult Education services); Janice Hanlon, who is over the GED program statewide; and Paulette Martin, who works with adult education in Little Rock. We would like to use this time to unveil (yes, on your show!) an interagency effort that created an adult education resource guide to encourage adults to return to school -- whether it's to get a GED or a bachelor's or a graduate degree. Besides listing all the resources available in Arkansas, the guide includes several inspiring success stories.

UPDATE: The hour has been added to the WAI Radio archives, which is linked at the left. It contains much useful information.

Comments:
Yes, it is Adult Education Week, but one week is certainly not long enough! It should be the whole year long, and every year, until we in Arkansas can no longer say that one-fourth of all adults in the state lack a high school degree. Philip
