You made some excellent points. I think it's too bad that so many cannot access funding. I know in some countries, college classes are free for citizens who want to continue their education. I know we could not support that, but it would certainly give opportunity to many more.

I strongly agree with your conclusion- additional funding for adult education is needed. It’s a shame that the federal government doesn’t recognize the benefits of continued education over topics they deem “non-essential.” In my opinion, a more educated society is a more successful society over all. If adult learners wish to continue their educational journey sand study a wider range of topics than what they already know, they should be encouraged and supported.
ReplyDeleteHello Group 3,
ReplyDeleteI thought the implications from interview 2 were really fascinating, especially the observation that adult education is not receiving funding from the federal government because it isn't seen as profitable. I'm also under the impression that k-12 education is by and large a state issue that could bleed over into adult education. However, this begs the question of how to standardize practices across an important profession like plumbing or data analysis. I also think about why education isn't seen as profitable and because I have a sociology background, I think about the fact that education is largely seen as women's work, even adult education. In this way, I aree that educators will have to get creative in the coming days to address tangible financial needs.
Thank you,
Beth
