[NLA] Info and Discussion: Adult Education System Name Survey

[David J. Rosen]

NLA Colleagues,

Below is a message from the NLA 2000 archives which lists the final top 
choices for a name for the adult education system.  Although *Adult 
Education and Literacy* was voted among the top four choices, there was 
no consensus on a name. Since then, many people have used *Adult 
Education and Literacy* ,apparently without objection from anyone, to 
refer to the programs funded by WIA Title II (and also -- according to 
Tom Sticht, mistakenly -- to refer to other adult learning and literacy 
programs in the field, regardless of funding.)

Perhaps we could agree that the *Adult Educaton and Literacy System*
refers to programs funded under WIA Title II, and that one of the top
two choices,  *Adult Learning and Literacy (ALL)*, should be used to 
refer to the larger field which includes WIA TItle II funded  programs 
-- and others.
