Did you know that 470,000 Arkansas adults did not finish high school? Adult Education and Literacy Programs serve more than 50,000 of these Arkansans every year.
More than 7,000 students passed the General Educational Development (GED®) Tests in 2011. To them this means a better job, higher wages and being able to better support their families. For Arkansas, this means a larger workforce and economic growth.
And we do so much more than GED® preparation. We help Arkansans complete job training through our WAGE (Workforce Alliance for Growth in the Economy) program and help Arkansans improve their English language skills with English-as-a-Second Language classes.
We have one of the highest success rates in the country! Approximately 77% of all students who take the pre-test and post-test show improvement in their academic skills.
Whether you want to get your GED® or talk to us about how you can support Arkansas Adult Education call us today! 870-234-6064
