The Adult Education Program is an educational
division of the State of Alabama Department of Education.
Southern Union State Community College (SUSCC) administers the East Central Alabama Adult Education (AE) Program in cooperation with the Chambers County, Clay County, Lee County, Randolph County, Auburn City, Opelika City, and Roanoke City school systems, and the Achievement Center/Easter Seal programs.
AE Classes: AE classes are available to
any adult free of charge. AE classes provide individualized adult-oriented
instruction to help the learner achieve his or her goals. AE classes
provide instruction in basic literacy, all primary and secondary
academic skills, preparation for GED test, and English as a
second language.
Literacy Tutoring: The Adult Education
Program is currently working in cooperation with the Lee County
Literacy Coalition to provide volunteer tutors to help adults
improve their reading skills. There are no classrooms and privacy
is assured. A trained tutor is assigned to each adult. Instruction
is tailored to the individual. For more information contact Debby Jahera at (334) 705-0001.
Cooperative Programs: The Adult Education
Program works in cooperation with local schools, social agencies,
jails, libraries and churches to provide classes wherever and
whenever it is convenient for the learner. Anyone interested in
such a cooperative program should contact the AE coordinator.
Workplace Literacy: The Adult Education
Program works in cooperation with local businesses and industries
to provide workplace education. A specialized program is designed
to meet the needs of employees. The cost of the program is shared
between the employer and the Adult Education Program.
Referral: If you come in contact with someone
who can benefit from our services, we would appreciate your informing
them about Adult Education. Unfortunately, those who need our
services the most are often the last to know about Adult Education.
The class teacher or the coordinator will be eager to talk to
you or the learner.
East Central Alabama Adult Education needs and
appreciates all efforts to make adults aware of our services.
We are eager for inquiries and suggestions about Adult Education
in East Alabama.
