<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>I have reprinted Tom Sticht's piece on Adult Education in the US and UK (in a more readable form and font - one page) and will pass it out to all our staff and literacy coalition members.
<BR>I think Tom's 4 lessons should/could be the basis for any literacy legislative platform: They ensure that we will stay focused on what matters to adult students. They are simple and memorable. They focus on the learner and not on the economy. Bravo, Tom!
