520 |a The Adult Basic Education/High School Equivalency Services Program of the New York City Board of Education's Office of Adult and Continuing Education provides services for out-of-school youth and adults at over 300 sites throughout the city. Instruction is provided in the areas of basic literacy, basic education, high school equivalency, and English as a second language (ESL). Basic education is offered in Spanish, French, Greek, and Italian, and both bilingual education and ESL are divided into four levels of proficiency. Between the 1984-1985 and 1985-1986 school years, the program grew from 368 to 721 classes. In 1984-1985, 39 percent of the students enrolled were immigrants, 41 percent were U.S. citizens, and 12 percent were receiving welfare. In the same year, 47 percent of the student population was Hispanic, 33 percent Black, 10 percent Asian, 9 percent White, and 1 percent American Indian. Approximately a third (6,335) of the 19,492 students enrolled in the program during 1983-1984 were still enrolled in the following year. At least 47 percent of the program's level 1 students progressed at least one level in this year as did 59 percent of the level 2 students. Twenty-seven percent of the level 3 students progressed to level 4. Two-year employment data were available for 5,466 students. Of the 2,518 students who were unemployed and available for work in 1983-1984, 13 percent found employment by 1983-1984. The program was perceived positively by most of the students, teachers, and administrators interviewed. (MN)
