RTC't ABE program tttpping up fig Ktagatmt adult Hkteracy f
Robeson Technical College is stoppiftg op its initiative
against adult illiteracy in the county and hopes to increase its
adult bask education enroOment by 2S percent this tall
quarter. .
RFC, which boasts one of the top. three ABE programs in the
state community college system, is adding seven recruiters
and a public relations specialist in an effort to reach more
adults in the county who cannot cither read and write or do not
have a high school diploma.
"We want to infiltrate the county and identify the non
readere and the non-high school graduates," said ABE
Director Tony Brewing-ton, who recently joined RTC after I6V1
years as director of missions for the Burnt Swamp Baptist
Association in Pembroke.
"We've made the people in this county conscious of the
problem, but we still do not know who they are."
The ABE program is divided into two areas of instruction,
HTC graduated iM adults from Ma high schod program, Km
laiyust number of dtpioaoM ever awarded In the 22 yean of
the college.
Brewtngton haa aaaigned 10 recrutten to cover aeven
designated areaa in the county.
"We met for four hour* last week and talked about waya ofi
reaching the student," he said. They'll be knocking oa
doors, using the telephone, going to agencteafor referrals and'
working with church organizations. I'm asking them to be
creative, to (Uncover ways of communicating our programs and
identifying the people in the county."
Brawington also hopes that by bringing in a person who wfll
be working exclusively to promote the ABE program the
number of students and classes will continue to grow and that
the community will be more enlightened.
To help that cause Brewington has hired Gordon Hood,
' formerly a general manager for a local radio station, ft wil be
Hood's job to take advantage of radio, newspaper and
television advertising and promote the program anyway he
can.
"It's my understanding that recruiting got a lot of attention
a few years ago, and that we saw an increase in our numbers," ?
Brewington said. "We want the type of recruitment that will
not be sporadic or seasonal and which will also be he^ful in
retention.
" We'd eventually like to get to the point where the average,
citizen is getting involved, by referring friends and relatives;
[intlDUI^'smint M wag M direction."
: RFC currently Km 68 bMk eduction and adult high school
ciaaMt In melon this spring quarter. Now, says Brewiagton,
ia a good time to lay the groundwork for the fall en'roUinent.
"fin spring la our low point because of fanning," ho aaid.
"A lot of thooa people are going until 9 at night and then to
hit a class doesn't work too well. We're not only working on
recruiting right now, but also trying to identify those who have
dropped out of the program ia years past and find out why.
"I think one major problem has been transportation. If we
work together with the community maybe we can solve that
problem. Maybe if we have 10 or f 5 people bom the same area
wanting to attend class there may be a church or a retiree who
would be willing te offer their services. I think if we can make
the county aware of the importance of this program, we can
tap some resources in this county."
That would bp especially helpful for one elderly lady.
"Gordon (Hood) was telling me about this 83 year old
woman from Maxton," Biewington said. "Most of the time
someone picks her up and takes her to class. Sometimes,
though, she doesn't get a ride. Yet, that woman is so
committed that she'll begin walking the four miles to her
daas. Her class starts at 6 in the evening and there's been
times, he said, that she's had to walk home at night after 10.
"It's that kind of spirit that says a lot to me about the people
in this county. It's our responsibility to provide a means to
fulfjllinoo that Hrp?m "
