An administrative survey of Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs in Pennsylvania during fiscal 1982-83 indicated that, although the level of funding for adult education programs was reduced from 1981-82 and 1982-83, progress was made in increasing the availability of programs throughout the state. However, the rate of enrollees who dropped out of the program before completing 12 hours or before meeting their personal objectives increased. In addition, 290 fewer classes and 2,970 fewer students were served. Demographic characteristics of the students enrolled in 1982-83 were similar to those of students enrolled in the past year. With a 6.6 percent decrease in vocational staff from the previous year, an analysis of job function showed an increase in the proportion of supervisors and decreases in the number of administrators. Despite problems arising from insufficient funding, data from the survey suggest that administrators of the Pennsylvania ABE programs are committed to, and are making progress toward, achieving the goals of the Adult Education State Plan.
