"We are happy to be able to offer GED classes online. This is a great opportunity for motivated, computer-savvy students to get their GED on their own schedule," said Sue Barker, director of the Adult Education Department.
Students interested in this program must attend an orientation session at the Mount Pleasant Adult Community Education Center at 201 N. Gibson (located behind the Child Development Center). To register, or for information, contact Amy House at 903-575-2130 or Freda Duncan at 903-434-8639.

Benefits of Online Education Emphasize Accessibility of Higher Learning amidst Threats of Global Economic Crisis
Posted: at 12:28 pm
Education-oriented website Learnstream.com acknowledges the advantages of online courses by currently devoting its homepage to articles discussing various online learning possibilities.
Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) March 16, 2012
For many people, learning usually takes place in a classroom or any place that could serve the same purpose. Recent technological advancements have opened up doors for more unique means of acquiring education. The ever expanding world of the internet has become a medium for people to do all sorts of things, including online learning. The public accessibility and convenience of online communication makes long distance interaction so simple that teachers have the chance to educate a wider range of students, from different places, all at once, points out Greg Wells of Learnstream.com
The growing popularity of online schools has even reached a level of higher education. From simple vocational classes to online graduate courses, the credibility of studying online is no longer a question clouding the minds of many. A lot of schools offer diplomas and certification which are all recognized by companies and businesses all around the world. Learnstream.com provides many of these online schools an opportunity to gain more enrollees by encouraging prospective students to understand the advantages of applying and learning online, states Wells.
As John F. Kennedy once said, Education is a means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and great strength for our nation. Education is truly an important element not only in an individuals life but in his or her part as a member of the community and the country. This message still lingers on up to this day. Thanks to the internet and sites like Learnstream.com, education will continue to be accessible to the public.
