Pugsley, Director, DAEL Office of Vocational and Adult Education Editor: Sarah Newcomb Production: Rose Tilghman January 20, 2000 ___________________________________ Final Unified Plan Guidance Released Final unified plan guidance appeared in the Federal Register on January 14 on pages 2463-2489. Note that the submission date for unified plans is now April 7. The submission dates for adult education and Perkins plans remains April 1. There were no significant changes related to Perkins or adult education in the final version. The guidance will be available on our web site in about two weeks. In the meantime, see http://usworkforce.org/resources/unified-final.htm Census Projections Point to ESL By 2005, Hispanics may become the nation's largest minority group, according to new Census projections. Projections suggest the U.S. Hispanic population (of any race) would triple by 2050, rising from 12 percent of the total population in 1999 to 24 percent in 2050. The Asian and Pacific Islander population is projected to more than triple, rising from 4 percent of the total population now to 9 percent in 2050. Populations of non-Hispanic Whites and African Americans would increase more slowly than the other groups. Between 1999 and 2050, our total number of foreign-born could more than double from 26.0 million to 53.8 million. Contact pio@census.gov Happy Birthday, Thursday Notes!
