NPR did a Morning Edition Education story today titled "Bush Education Cuts
Jeopardize GED Programs". It's about how the administration's plans to cut
adult education programs would be a blow to unemployed mill workers in North
Carolina trying to get back into the workforce. 

You can now hear the piece on NPR's website:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4628441

John Tyler, who has done much research on the economic impact of the GED, is
interviewed briefly (much of his work is available via NCSALL's site,
www.ncsall.net, under research briefs, Focus on Policy, and Focus on
Basics). 

Thanks to Gail Spangenberg for bringing this to my attention!

Editor, Focus on basics
