Passage One

Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma of a college degree.Many adults are not interested in going tocollege.They are interested in other kinds of learning.For them, learning does not end with a diploma.

Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field.It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.

Continuing education classes give some adults the chance to learn new skills.There are usually many kinds of classes to choose from, foreign cooking, auto repair, or furniture repair.These are only some of the classes available.

Some adults takeclassesfor fun or because the class will be useful for them.For example, they can choose a class in almostanylanguage as a second language.There are classes in first aid or classes in sewing.There are also many other types of classes to choose from.

Other adults takecontinuingeducation classes to improve their own livesbecausethey want to feel better about themselves.Overweight people can find exercise classes orclassesin nutrition.Others can learn how to be good parents, or how to get along with other people.

There are many opportunities for adults to continue their learning.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program.There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches.Most classes are in theevening, so working people can attend.The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.

Thousands of people register for continuing education classes each year.They receive no diploma or certificate, and no grade for most of the classes they attend. For them, learning is something they do because they want to.
