GREENWOOD - “The by word in education today is in- novation-and that is what tech nical education is all about," Rotarians in two cities were told this week. Ernest W. Pre- wett, Jr., Information Officer at Piedmont Tec, addressed the Rotary Club in Clinton on Tuesday and a similar group in Laurens on Thursday. “Tec Centers are char acterized by a degree of flexi bility and openness that has, to this point, been unfamiliar to traditional education. In dividualized instruction and lo cal autonomy provide for pro grams tailored to the human and industrial needs of a given region," Prewett said. In commenting on the re cent untimely death of A. Wade Martin, who has served since 1961 as Executive Director of the State Committee for Tech nical Education, Prewett added: “He will be remembered as one of South Carolina’s most ta lented leaders and his legacy will be one of rich productivity and unparalleled industrial growth." Prewett went on to describe specific programs offered at Piedmont Tec. The center fea tures five major areas of study; the technical division, the bus iness division, the industrial division, the adult education program and the extension di vision. Additionally, he noted, Piedmont Tec has provided a vast array of services to area industry. A major item on Piedmont Tec’s agenda for the future, Prewett noted, is expansion of facilities. A steadily increas ing enrollment has necessitated the development of an expansion proposal that will equip the center to serve 2,500 full-time day students and a total en rollment of more than 20,000 persons. Prewett pointed out the fact that Piedmont Tec is currently being supported by four coun ties - Greenwood, Abbeville, McCormick and Saluda. “We at Piedmont Tec," he said, “Are anxious for Laurens to bolster this base of support and we are prepared to accept almost any reasonable suggestion in work ing out financial arrange ment." He went on to cite a number of benefits to be gained by participation on the part of Laurens County. “Certainly not the least of such benefits," he concluded, “Is that students from your county would no longer have to pay out-of-area fees." Students from non-sup porting counties are required to pay an instructional fee that is 50% higher than that charged students from the four support ing counties. Prewett concluded by saying that at the present time some 185 Laurens County students are enrolled among Piedmont Tec’s 1,180 students.
