For this final blog the reading I chose is called, “Contributions
of the Military to Adult and Continuing Education. The article went into detail
about the GI Bill and I found this section very interesting. I knew that my mother-in-law used it to go to
school after she was in the army. She told me that she lived off of
it as a single mother while she went to school. The GI Bill gave her the
opportunity to provide a better life for her children.
This has been true for a long time. 7.5 million World War II
Veterans used the bill when it was first established after the war. This helped
the Veterans increase their earning income by 40% according to the reading.
Today, 20 million Veterans have used the bill. According to the reading 96% of
those using the GI Bill say it has helped them to achieve higher education. They
may not have had the chance to receive higher education without it.
