Description
In recent years it has become difficult for individuals to receive an education and find work in certain regions of the country. The Greater Portsmouth area is aiming to help people get diplomas and find work to lead a successful life. Education is an important conversation that needs to be addressed to both younger and older generations. During the past few months, Frank Edelbult, the commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Education, has been working on a number of initiatives to help students reach successful outcomes and build bright futures. One recent initiative is Learn Everywhere, a program that multiplies educational opportunities for students and allows them to receive high school graduation credits outside of the classroom. During this lecture the commissioner will be addressing these initiatives more in-depth and explain how people can enhance thier future with these programs.
