Education centers stay flexible to assist soldiers in the Field by Connie Dickey staff writer the army is placing More emphasis on a Soldier s education for promotions and retention but problems arise when soldiers have missions that do not allow tune to continue their education. The education centers in Buedingen cel Hausen and Hanau have found ways to allow their soldiers to go to school without interfering with their commitments in the Field. Buedingen education Counselor Roy Hurndon has gone to the Field to Register soldiers for College and University courses. The soldiers otherwise would have missed the registration deadline. Various education centers in Germany also delayed the Start of this Quarter s classes by two weeks to accommodate soldiers who participated in reformer. At the Hanau education Center on Pioneer Cavern the units and Center work together in scheduling classes particularly military occupational skill courses. Many units use their own battalion classrooms for classes. We be already had one commander give us primary and alternate dates for mos related courses for his sol Diers based on the next six months training and Mission requirements said Grey Edwards education services officer on Pioneer Cavern. Units training schedules Are looked at to All the Edu cation services officers to see when the soldiers Are in the Field. I get with unit training cos and operations and training offices to look Over the training Board. I then schedule classes that Don t clash too much with training schedules said Penny Roberts Buedingen education services officer. Hester Telman Deputy director of the army continuing education system in Heidelberg said education Cen ters throughout Germany work closely with commanders in scheduling classes. The education Center s purpose is to meet the needs of the communities she said noting that this could result in efforts similar to or different from those in Buedingen Gellhausen and Hanau. Beverly Reynolds Gellhausen education services offi cer said that since the Gellhausen education Center is off Post it is hard for some soldiers to make classes offered there. Units have avoided that problem by hav ing classes in their respective units. She said units have asked that classes be scheduled at their convenience working around their Mission require ments. Reynolds and Edwards said they be bad the Best Suc Cess with weekend seminars with enrolment sometimes reaching More than 120. Gellhausen enrolment has increased since offering the seminars Dave schuster said. He was at Gellhausen before taking his present position As the education serv ices officer at Fliege Horst Cavern in Hanau. Because of the Field duty required of the soldiers in a Olnhausen they Are not Able to take the regularly scheduled Type of classes and we offered the weekend seminars As much As possible he said. A student can get one credit hour for every 16 class room hours. By taking a weekend seminar twice a month a student can earn two credit hours. Roberts said there Are two kinds of Soldier students those who want a College degree and Are motivated to make the sacrifices needed to attain their goal and those who Are going to College because of promotion and retention requirements. These Are borderline cases. We work with them and offer encouragement by suggesting they Combine meaningful and fun courses Roberts said. English is a meaningful course it is a requirement and can be used in whatever the Soldier does. A new course we Are starting in february is perspectives in jazz and it should be a fun course. Edwards said that when Counselor talk to soldiers about taking classes their first step is to get them to take a subject they like. Our Counselor try to find out the Soldier s interests and goals then we build from there he said. Even though some of them have the desire to continue their education there Are a lot who feel pressured into taking courses for promotion and retention. They could have some negative feelings about a particular subject say  he said that by getting them into something they Are interested in they can adjust better to being in school and can pursue those courses they Don t like later.
