Abstract
This thesis examines the feasibility of several methods for providing
remedial high school level education to Marine Corps
enlisted personnel. It includes a review of recent Marine Corps
enlistment experience and the serviceman's need for education.
Also considered are the congressional and Marine Corps requirements
for servicemen to possess a high school education and the present provisions which allow completion of secondary schooling,
with emphasis on the Predischarge Education Program (PREP)
.
This precedes an analysis of alternative methods for providing
this education with a view toward expected costs and benefits.
Research in support of this study consisted of a review of
applicable public laws and Marine Corps Orders. Personal interviews
with administrators of PREP at three major military bases
in California provided basic information and statistical data.
