Next Education Matters explores how Kentucky serves adult learners

More than 785,000 Kentucky adults have never received a high school diploma, putting them at higher risk for unemployment and poverty. The next Education Matters explores how the state is helping these Kentuckians overcome learning obstacles, earn GED^® credentials and move on to higher education and the workplace in “Serving Kentucky’s Adult Learners,” airing Tuesday, Feb. 22 at 9/8 p.m. CT on KET.

Host Bill Goodman discusses these issues with Cris Crowley, director of the Madisonville Community College adult education program; Cheryl King, president of Kentucky Wesleyan College; Reecie Stagnolia, vice president, Kentucky Adult Education; and James Meyer, a U of L student who earned his GED^® credential in 2005.

The program also features a video visit to the  adult education center in Mason County to learn first-hand about the resources available to meet the educational needs of older students.
