Educational services have always been free and open to individuals over the age of 16 and who are not enrolled in a regular school program. Instruction has allowed flexible attendance by learners, has focused on the learners personal goals, has employed participatory learning strategies, has encouraged the utilization of technology and has given the adult student control over both the content and pace of learning.
