Abstract

High School Equivalency Program Educational Planning or Policy Immigration
In August 1973, the Department of Labor received by transfer from the Office of Economic Opportunity a number of grant programs which serve migratory and seasonal farmworkers. One program among these was the High School Equi valency Program, ca .lied HEP, consisting of 16 local projects. The primary purpose of HEP is to prepare school dropouts from migratory and seasonal farrnworker families for acquiring a hi.gh school equivalency certificate, and subsequently for placement in employment or skill training, or enrollment in college. In October 1973, OPER undertook an evaluation of HEP in order to assist the Migrant Programs Division of DOL to deteL'Ittlne the relative quality and effectiveness of HEP. Simultaneously, because of its kinship to HEP, the study team reviewed the College Assistance Migrant Program -- a tuition - assistance and supportive services program for college 1:x>und seasonal farmworker youth.
