Jewel, if you can shake down this information, we will all want to have it.  
In my opinion, it is impossible to compare unit costs for education programs, 
because programs designed to meet the needs of a given group of learners will 
inevitably be very different for each other, hence the apples and oranges 
problem.  You might have an easier time deriving cost savings by calculating 
what would happen if the program doesn't exist.  Good luck, and keep us 
posted.
