Learn and Earn will soon be on the air.
The state and the College Foundation of North Carolina plan to air a public service announcement touting the new Web-based college program, the Charlotte Observer reports.
The program will allow students to take online college courses while still in high school. After five years, they would graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree.
At a national conference in Washington, D.C., Gov. Mike Easley said that the program will help address the fact that many high schoolers want more from their education.
"High school does not have a product the consumer wants," he said.
