Hello PD List Colleagues, I thought this newest release from CAAL would be of interest to you. Please see below...Jackie Taylor ________________________________ From: Gail Spangenberg [mailto:gspangenberg at caalusa.org] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2008 11:10 AM To: National Literacy Advocacy List sponsored by AAACE; library-lit at ala.org; technology at nifl.gov; The Workplace Literacy Discussion List Subject: [AAACE-NLA] CAAL/Commission Report on Inflation... The National Commission on Adult Literacy, in Reach Higher, America, calls for an expenditure (in 2008 dollars), for the new adult education and workforce skills system it recommends, of $20 billion in public funding. It also calls for an unspecified amount in private sector funding, creation of a new national trust to help support development of this system which would be supported by both public and private funds, and use of technology on an unprecedented scale to help achieve increased enrollments and bring down per-student program costs. The Center for Labor Management Studies at Northeastern recently calculated the affects of inflation by 2020 on the $20 billion figure and for private sector funding. The results are presented in a short paper prepared for CAAL as part of its follow-up work on behalf of the Commission. The paper is posted for interested parties at the CAAL website, www.caalusa.org (Publications page, item NC-CAAL3), along with other recent analyses for CAAL/the Commission.
