Socorro says that her experience as a student at BAS created a strong passion for the value of adult education.
Osman is an excellent, compassionate ESL teacher, presenting lessons that are organized and comprehensible to his students. At break time you'll see him interacting with students in the school, telling his story, encouraging students, acting as a roll model.
	Mr. Pinon says he “wanted to set an example for many people, because I knew many of them didn’t believe in themselves."

Adult education provides educational opportunities and services to equip adults with the knowledge and skills necessary to participate effectively as citizens, workers, parents, and as family and community members. Instructional programs ensure that adults have the education and skills required for a competitive economy and a better quality of life.

Adult students are served by school districts, community colleges, community or faith-based organizations, volunteer literacy organizations, public or private nonprofit agencies, public libraries, state agencies, correctional facilities, the California Conservation Corps, the California Youth Authority, and the California Department of Developmental Services.
