Tennessee: Free community college education for adults.
 
The gov of Tennessee is extending tuition free community college education to adults.

Good move!

It's a good start but why just limit it to older students?

Seems like kids who just graduated from High School should be eligible too.

Tennessee is the first to offer it to seniors. (year 2015)

The governor now is extending the offer to adults.

It's a good move. I hope to see more states follow suit.

Great news, it should be for everybody but at least there is the option for developing another skill because theirs is outdated and going away ie: coal. I took quite a few classes over the years for keeping my skills up to date, so there is that too.

I would like to see companies take of some of the slack here, Bell Canada sent me on so many courses I lost count, both in telephone concepts and computer science.
