RE: [NLA] Re:Two points....

A correction.....LVA is Literacy Volunteers of America

Secondly , Laubach Literacy is not "taking over" LVA .. The two
organizations are merging which will result in a totally new organization .

"Taking over " has some connotations that are probably not an appropriate
characterization of the process that these two organizations are involved
in.

  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
