Initial services began as “evening programs” in a handful of select schools and college campuses. The demand for programs grew every year and along with the continuation of the part-time evening programs, several full-time programs were also established. There are currently eight statefunded regional centers, four satellite sites in North Dakota,  \nand Department of Corrections  \nand Rehabilitation sites that provide services throughout the state.  \nNorth Dakota’s Adult Education Programs support adult basic education, adult secondary education and English language acquisition. These programs emphasize basic skills such as reading, writing, math, English language competency, problem-solving, technology skills, and career preparation.  \nMany program participants are working to obtain the equivalent of a high school diploma by passing the (GED) . Candidates for the GED are required to study for, take  \nand pass tests that measure high school level skills and knowledge. Passing the tests and obtaining a GED diploma is just as much a reason to celebrate as high school graduation. The opportunities for better employment and education for GED graduates are endless.  \nAnother fast-growing sector of adult education is English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), also referred to as English as a Second Language (ESL) or English Language Learners (ELL) . These courses are key in assisting immigrants and refugees with the development of their English language skills and in helping them to acclimate to the culture of the U. S.  \nThere is great enthusiasm and pride among North Dakota adult learners. The stories featured in this booklet highlight a few of the students who have taken the road to success and achieved their goals with the help of adult education.  \nFor further information regarding Adult Education key data points and an interactive map, visit ND Insights or our Adult Education website.
