Who Benefits:

Adult education programs serves students according to the following criteria. Eligible adults are those individuals:

• Who are at least 18 years of age or married, with the exception of those who are at least 16 years of age and released from compulsory attendance by the local School Board or are an adjudicated adult;

• Who lack sufficient mastery of basic educational skills or English language communication skills to enable them to to function effectively in society;

• Learners would be deemed eligible if they had obtained a high school diploma but pretest at an educational functioning level less than a post-secondary level;

• Learners who lack sufficient English language skills to obtain or maintain employment

• Who do not have a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent;

Adult learners will be placed in the appropriate educational functioning level based on the results of an academic pretest. When a learner is assessed in more than one area (e.g., math, reading, and writing) and test scores reflect different educational functioning levels, the learner is placed in the educational functioning level represented by the lowest test score.
