Major Findings & Recommendations
Authors suggest the following changes to achieve improved outcomes for adult education: • Government needs to provide financial aid to students not taking credit courses (p.5). • Colleges need to adopt new flexibile administrative procedures suitable to students who do not match the traditional picture of an 18-year old, full-time undergraduate (p. 5). • Colleges also need more flexibile scheduling, offer classes online and on the weekends (p.6). • Another way to accelerate academic programs is to integrate basic skills instruction into college classes, rather than requiring students to complete remediation before moving on to more advanced coursework (p. 7). • Improve the GED program, which also needs to accelerate and improve instruction, increase access and provide newly flexible delivery systems (p. 7).
