KCBS - Adult Classes Fall Short


KCBS - Adult Classes Fall Short:

"A nonprofit advocacy group said Friday state adult education programs are having trouble meeting the demand for classes due in part to California's budget crisis.

'We are seeing that community colleges and adult education programs are having to reduce the number of courses they offer because of budget constraints,' said Vicky Lovell with the California Budget Project. She added that the demand for adult education courses remains high. According to Lovell, 4 out of 5 students entering community colleges and more than half the students in the Cal State University system are ill prepared to do college level work."
