Is Adult Education Course Funding Necessary?

Adult Education Course Funding

In case you haven't noticed the American education system desperately needs a new direction, beginning with funding adult education courses

In a recent world survey, the United States received a D minus in public high school education! Besides being a disgraceful embarrassment, this fact bodes ill for the future of America.

If high school graduates are so ill prepared to qualify for skilled jobs and don't have the grades to get in to college, America will surely become a third world country of workers in the future.

It's abundantly clear that this issue must be addressed, and soon. Funding adult education courses may be one of the best first steps to getting our educational system back on track.

Adult Education Courses Can Help Replenish The Workplace And The Economy

While the public high school curriculum also needs a vigorous overhaul, we need to do something about the kids who have dropped out of high school, as well as adults who barely made it out of high school. These kids are barely employable inminimum wage jobs, due to a lack of the basic skills required for a minimum wage job.

If you can't even count change correctly, you'll soon lose your job.

Such people often drift from one job to another. With jobs already tight, what happens to these young adults? Eventually, they are locked out of the job market altogether. They'll either end up on welfare, become homeless, or turn to dealing drugs.

Remedial Adult Education Courses - Not A Sure Answer But Worth A Try

A few remedial adult education courses can help reverse this trend. We need to provide funding for adult education courses for those who cannot afford to pay. The consequences of not doing so are costing so much more to every taxpayer and society as a whole.

By providing funding for adult education courses to people already living a life of poverty, we can turn these disadvantaged members of society into productive, taxpaying citizens, with dignity and hope for the future. This single initiative will ultimately reduce crime and provide a better future for the next generation.

In addition to providing access to adult education courses, we should supplement the funding to extend to tutoring, on an as-needed basis.

Funding should also be provided to administer aptitude tests to unskilled, poorly educated adults to determine what natural talent they possess. It's a fact that medical technician jobs go begging, for want of qualified applicants.

These skills may often obtained through a short term certification program. These types of adult education courses can turn an adult on welfare into a well paid working taxpayer.

Again, their children, the next generation, will reap the benefits, with better opportunities for their future. There are also many adult education courses available in distance learning programs.

Hopefully, the new political administration will take steps to mandate higher standards in our public high schools.

Retro School?

A simple switch to the standard high school curriculum of the 1960s would be a massive step forward. We need to attract better teachers with a better rate of pay. Today, a starting teacher's pay barely exceeds that of a minimum wage job!

It's easy to crunch the numbers and see that investments made to revamp high school curriculums and provide funding for adult education courses is a drop in the bucket when compared with the cost of maintaining this disgraceful quality of education and the consequences to society.

The future of this country depends, in large part, on our children acquiring basic skill levels to meet the required needs in professional fields.
