SANYO Aids Youths With Language Help and GED Program
Don Heath reports on the San Antonio Neighborhood Youth Organization SANYO which runs an Out of School program providing remedial education counseling and paid work for youths 16 to 21 from low income families. Since 1965 the GED track has enrolled over 200 students with about 80 percent earning certificates, while vocational and reading level testing show many graduates struggle with reading and some previously high school graduates read at sixth grade level or lower.
