The Council for Advancement of Adult Literacy released the third of eight resource papers prepared to help inform its national study of the role and potential of community colleges in adult education and literacy. The new 35-page publication is by Vanessa Morest of the Community College Research Center of Columbia University, with assistance from Kerry Charron, Annika Fasnacht, & Daniella Olibrice. This national study analyzes data drawn from several sources, including state directors of adult education, the National Reporting System, and the U.S. Census Bureau. Its broad aim is to examine the structure of adult education in the U.S. with special attention to the role of community colleges as a component of the national delivery system. Among many other findings, the report reveals that neither adult education nor community college systems are adequately aware of the large role that community colleges play as a service provider in adult education and literacy. This publication and the CAAL Community College Study project generally are made possible by funding from the Ford Foundation, Household International, the Lumina Foundation for Education, the McGraw-Hill Companies, the Nellie-Mae Foundation, Verizon, Inc., and several individual donors. The publication is available, along with others in the series, at the CAAL web site at http://www.caalusa.org. -- Barbara Garner Senior Program Officer email bgarner@worlded.org World Education phone (617) 482-9485 44 Farnsworth Street fax (617) 482-0617 Boston, MA 02210
