Vocational Ed.
Observance
Is Proclaimed
Proclaiming the week of
February 9-14 as “North
Carolina Vocational
Education Week,” Governor
James B. Hunt, Jr. ex
pressed the state’s com
mitment to the idea that
“vocational - technical
education is an essential
component of balanced
growth and economic
development.”
“If economic develop
ment is to continue, and if
North Carolina’s people are
to benefit from it, plans
must be developed today,”
Hunt observed. “Action
must be taken to guarantee
North Carolina’s people
have the education and
skills to take advantage of
new high-paying jobs.”
The State Board of
Education, joining in the
Governor’s call for action,
has estimated that 85,000
students in North Carolina’s
secondary schools need and
want vocational programs
unavailable to them, in
addition to the 285,000-plus
students now being served.
It is asking the General
Assembly for additional
funds to employ enough
teachers to serve an ad
ditional 42,500 students each
year of the biennium, as
well for additional equip
ment and materials.
Governor Hunt called
attention to an opportunity
for citizens to become better
informed about vocational -
technical education and to
voice their views on how
improvements could be
made: the annual “Forum
on Vocational Education” to
be aired on the state’s
educational TV network at
7:30 P.M. Thursday,
February 12. Sponsored by
the State Advisory Council
on Education, with
assistance by JJhe State
Department of Public In
struction, and the Depart
ment of Community
Colleges, the forum has
been drawing increasing
public interest.
Cooperative vocational
education in North
Carolina’s public schools is
paying for itself in several
ways, according to program
summaries prepared by the
State Department of Public
Instruction’s Division of
Vocational Education.
During the 1979-80 school
year, 20,208 regular term
students and 8,890 summer
term students earned wages
totaling $56,220,096. “These
wages constitute an ap-
