734-6 EDUCATION
Education activities enhance a participant's ability to gain employment. Programs offering education vary from area to area and agency to agency. Some provide very basic reading instruction and others skills needed to cope with everyday challenges. These activities can be assigned when the participant's personal educational level and goals indicate a need for completing a high school program or enhancing basic literacy skills.
The rest of this chapter describes Temporary Assistance policy on Education activities. Local procedures provide further guidance on use of local resources when assigning participants to educational activities, and reflecting expectations in their Family Self Sufficiency Plan. Such assignments must reflect both the participant's need for the education and their willingness to attend the activity.
Exception:
Minor parents must attend high school or GED Preparation as a condition of their eligibility for Temporary Assistance.
Education activities include remedial, basic skills, or literacy training as a prerequisite to occupational-specific training or necessary for success in work search or general work performance. Participation in Education activities may lead to the award of a high school or General Educational Development ( GED ) diploma, to improvements in elementary reading and writing skills, or to the ability to speak, read, and write English.
