OBAMA AND HAITIAN PRESIDENT TO MEET WEDNESDAY
By Profesor Martin Danenberg "El Quijote del GED"
Haiti is seeking money to get students back into school, it was reported in New York Newsday today. President Preval said jobs have to be brought to the provinces and that requires roads, electricity, education, and health. The United States, facing a great disaster called World War II, rose to the challenge by creating the GED for American youth who could not finish school as they chose to fight in that war. Adults who never had a chance to finish school did the same test to earn diplomas that improved there lives. I am told that former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger earned a GED. It is imperative that we bring the GED to Haiti with the total cooperation of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama. Funds can be set aside to pay the costs of testing. We have had more than fifteen million graduates of the GED and I do not believe that Haiti has been participating at all in worldwide GED testing in English.
The GED test takes about eight hours and bright Haitians who have left school or who cannot return to their former high schools can pass the test quickly. No preparation will be required for those bright individuals. The funding for the GED test should be held in escrow by the Clinton Foundation, working with the United States government, other governments, foundations, and individuals who want to endow Haiti with this great financial gift that will help make the country progress, providing new leadership.
