To Many, A Job
Basic Education Opens Up Futures
Reading, writing, simple arith
metic. Tasks taken for granted by
most people, yet for some 12,000
persons in Hoke and Moore coun
ties who have never mastered these
fundamentals, the chance to attend
classes and learn basic education
skills can make a tremendous
difference in their lives, and may
mean a job for the first time.
The Hoke County Adult Basic
Education (ABE) class is sponsored
by the Comprehensive Employment
and Training Act (CETA) and
taught by Sandhills Communit
College.
E.B. Coleman, chairman of th
adult basic education at Sandhill;
is enthusiastic about the program
"Much has been done, yet we hav
not reached thousands who couli
and would profit. Many simply d<
not know such training is available
Many others need encouragcmen
to enroll". Coleman said.
Six of the 12 students enrolled ii
the class held in the old count;
office building in Raeford recentl
completed their frst ten weel
session and Coleman and in
structors Clara Frierson and Lor
raine Graham expressed pride ii
the group's accomplishments.
"One ladv started with us am
she couldn't so much as write hei
own name. Well, now she is going
to the blackboard and writing
numbers for subtraction. Yoi
should see the change, and how
happy she is knowing she is reall)
learning". Coleman said.
"Our goal is to reach as many
people as possible through the
program", he said.
In addition to the CETA class,
other classes are held at Scurlock
school. West Hoke elementary, and
Hoke High.
A class is also offered at the
South Hoke community center.
A new ABE class will begin Jan.

unable to attend in the evening

iiintlicts.
