Adult Education Is Important F or All Of Country since i*o sometning very special has been happening in Raeford. . Through the cooperation of the Hoke County government and Sandhills Community College, over 175 citizens of Hoke County have received High School Equivalency (GED) certificates. A thriving adult education pro gram is provided for any adult whose formal educational level is below high school. Classes are available for adults who are non-readers or for those who need only a little study in order to pass the tests necessary to receive a GED certificate. The county provides room in its building on Elwood Avenue in downtown Raeford while the com munity college provides the materials and the instructors. What began as a single, three hour class in 1975 has become a five class, day and night schedule designed to meet the needs of all under-educated adults, no matter what their level. The Education Center now of fers four Adult Basic Education classes and one GED class and employs two full-time and two part-time instructors. Students interested in an official Hoke County High School diploma rather than a GED cer tificate may enroll in the Adult High School ( AHS) program which is co-sponsored by the Hoke County Board of Education and Sandhills Community College's Division of Continuing Education. Students take those exact high school courses they need to com plete the requirements for a regular diploma. Just like all other high school students, these adults take the state competency test and march in the annual graduation ceremony with other high school seniors. The classes meet at Hoke Senior High on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:30 until 9:30. This schedule allows working people to go back to school without altering their working hours. This year, 27 adults graduated from Hoke Senior High after par ticipating in the AHS program. Since the cooperative effort began in 1974, over 200 adults have finished high school; most of them would not have been able to do so without the evening pro gram. . . The incredible success ot the program in Hoke County is mostly directly due to the dedication and caring of the instructors. C arrie Carter, who came to the Education Center in 1975 as an Adult High School Instructor, is responsible for coordinating the activities of the Center as well as teaching and recruiting.
