Outreach To Adults With A High School Diploma/GED and GED Graduates
This component of the KnowHow2GOKy initiative targets approximately 800,000 Kentucky adults without a high school diploma or GED for recruitment purposes and 9,500 Kentucky adults with a GED who are not currently enrolled in college. Building upon the results of a survey of 3,200 GED graduates conducted by Kentucky Adult Education in spring 2007, the KnowHow2GOKy Web site offers this audience comprehensive online resources to help them get their GED and transition to college. In partnership with Kentucky Adult Education, CPE plans to expand outreach to this audience to include the development and distribution of recruitment and transition toolkits for adult educators across the state.

“Brutes are deprived of the high advantages which we have; but they have some which we have not. They have not our hopes, but they are without our fears; they are subject like us to death, but without knowing it; even most of them are more attentive than we to self-preservation, and do not make so bad a use of their passions.”
—Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)

—Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
“Our father has an even more important function than modeling manhood for us. He is also the authority to let us relax the requirements of the masculine model: if our father accepts us, then that declares us masculine enough to join the company of men. We, in effect, have our diploma in masculinity and can go on to develop other skills.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
