Governor Bev Perdue will be in Eastern Carolina Thursday to deliver what her office is billing as a "major address" on educational goals.
Perdue will speak at the Ned Everett Delamar Center on the campus of Pamlico Community College, on her vision of making sure students who graduate from high school are college and career-ready.
The event is scheduled for 2 p.m. The general public is invited, though seating is limited to 650 people. Organizers recommend people arrive early. Civic leaders, municipal and county officials, education leaders, from Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Jones and Pamlico Counties will be at the event Thursday.

What is a HS education? It is nothing. It teaches no skill to work. The Community College level should start when the students are 15, teaching working skills to provide income and produce goods. Manufacturing which this state needs to get people back to work. In NC when the ag market dropped, the same factories that were shipped out of here should have been opening. Walmart should be buying goods made in NC. Don't tax businesses to death, give business and industrial education an open door to come here. Start teaching job skills early, learn from the Germans.

I bet the Superintendent of Schools is still employed with a hugh salary. What should be done is remove extra admin staff i.e. vice principles, superintendents etc, for the superintendent job the Principles hold a board with one being elected board president with no increase of salary, Also extent retirements to thirty years or 65 years old.

Anette, so how does doubling class sizes and taking money away from the budget for education help the goals to educate more people? Yes, we do need to educate our children, and to do so we need smaller classes, good teachers and a lot of parental support. Taking money away from schools and pour that money into the budget to provide more for people on welfare does not sound like the soultion to improve education, however, right now this seems to be the case.
