Bradburn Announces
Vocational Program In
Schools To Be Expanded
In keeping with its goal to
provide each pupil with the op
portunity to develop to the
(maximum of his individual
interests and capacity, the
Transylvania County School
System will broaden its voca
tional program for the next
school year, Supt. C. W. Brad
bum announces.
Authorization of state funds
has been received from the
North Carolina Department of
Public Instruction to add four
new vocational teachers in the
county beginning with the
1964 - ’65 school year.
Two vocational agriculture
teachers and two home eco
nomics teachers have been
providing training in these
fields for a number of years.
In the past, federal restric
tions have limited these in
structors to specific farm and
home training. These restric
tions have been liberalized to
include instruction in farm
and home related instructions
—giving much breadth to this
program.
The Industrial Cooperative
Training program started two
years ago, offering a two year
program of cooperative school
and on-the-job training in skills
and apprenticable trades to 11th
and 12th grade pupils, will be
continued.
Classes in Introduction to Vo
cations offered for the first time
at Brevard junior high last year,
will be continued — providing
9th grade pupils with an intro
duction to the possible occupa
tional choices that may be avail
able to provide them with a live
lihood when they have complet
ed high school.
New positions allotted for
the 1964-’65 school year in
clude: one teacher for Bre
vard junior high school to al
low for a team approach to
vocational education. Units
are to be planned that would
correlate subjects such as
Mathematics, English and So
cial Studies into a practical vo
cational approach to those high
school pupils not planning to
go to college when they haw
