Maine Adult Education Day
The Maine Adult Education Association held its annual Maine Adult Education Day at the Hall of Flags in the Statehouse on February 10. For the eighth year, Governor John E. Baldacci took part in the event, talking with adult learners, many of whom are dislocated workers, and speaking to the group regarding the importance of adult education in the development of Maine¹s workforce. Six adult learners, all involved in retraining or preparation for higher education, offered compelling remarks about their circumstances and the difference Maine Adult Education made for them.
Maranacook RSU 38 Adult Education participated in the morning event, participating in a series of theme displays on High School Completion, English as a Second Language, Family Literacy, Workforce and Skill Training, WorkReady Technology, and College Transitions, all critical elements of the Maine Adult Education system.
Individual programs met with their legislators and student groups attended public hearings and toured the House and Senate Chambers. On February 10, both the House and Senate passed a joint resolution, sponsored by Rep. Peggy Rotundo and Senator Richard Rosen, and cosponsored by all members, acknowledging the vital role of adult education in Maine.
