The Kansas City, Missouri School District's Adult Basic Education
(ABE) program serves older youth and adults who need
basic skills to get a job, enter a training program, or pass
the GED examination. Each year, ABE enrolls more than 6,000
students in day and evening classes designed to teach basic
academic skills and prepare for the workplace. |
|
Literacy, life skills and technical education are fundamental
to the program. Many ABE participants go on to advanced training
or enter the workforce able to compete for better jobs. The
annual graduation and awards ceremony typically recognizes about
150 evening high school and GED graduates, post-secondary education
scholarship winners and outstanding performers.

| Funded
under the "Workforce Investment Act of 1998," ABE
is administered by the Missouri State Department of Elementary
and Secondary Education (DESE) Adult Education and Literacy
program. ABE's expert faculty, staff and literacy volunteers
have a reputation for dedication to quality instruction and
helping program participants achieve their personal goals. |
