I believe that Laubach may be taking over LVA.

Colleagues,

This is a question for those who know some history of the field.

We have two nationally known adult literacy programs, Laubach (LLA) and 
Learning Volunteers of America (LVA).  With the great advance of adult 
literacy in 1991, why weren't these programs utilized as a vehicle for the 
expansion of adult literacy?  Both seem to be going concerns, but the 
government set up a new structure, NIFL.

I may be really skewing the facts here.

Perhaps a federal interest was seen, in addition to these two other
ventures, 
I am thinking of Head Start and Evenstart, and what may have been seen as 
building on these two federal programs.  Anyone know the thinking here?

Andrea
