[NLA] Info: Administration considering counting only employment-related preformance outcomes for adult ed.

[George E. Demetrion]

Then why all the emphasis on reading and reading research in adult
literacy by the federal govt as reflected in the recent grant awards? 
Why not an emphasis on contextual-based workplace literacy programs
instead?
