New York, NY, 9/4/07 -- The National Commission on Adult Literacy today released ADULT EDUCATION AND POSTSECONDARY SUCCESS by Steve Reder of Portland State University and the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy. The policy brief was presented at the Commission's third meeting on August 20, 2007. It examines GED holders in comparison to their counterparts who have received a high school diploma as well as those with no high school credential. The comparisons are made in terms of long-term postsecondary education outcomes. The author makes numerous recommendations for expanding and restructuring the adult education system, with the goal of college readiness and success in mind. [September 4, 2007, 29 pages, publ.
