Wyoming's colleges offer much more than academic and occupational technical degrees and certificates. In 2000, 27,703 Wyoming citizens, age 25 years and older, did not have a high school diploma. For this 12.14% of Wyoming's population, the Adult Basic Education (ABE) program at each of the colleges is designed to equip these adults with the skills needed for more productive living in society as well as other goals like earning a GED (General Educational Development) certificate, pursuing postsecondary training and/or employment-related training. For those college students who need help before taking a college-level course, each Wyoming college offers a series of courses in mathematics, English, reading and study skills. Proposals to improve performance in the next two years include: (1) Place administrative responsibility for adult basic education (ABE) and general educational development programs (GED) with the Wyoming Community College Commission; (2) Replace some of the current federal funding support for ABE and GED with state funding; (3) Enhanced equipment for ABE/GED programs; (4) Develop and carry out a marketing program that provides information about the community college system and raises the awareness of what the colleges offer; (5) Improve affordability and access with increased student aid; and (6) Provide additional technology support for students in ABE/GED and developmental courses.
