84. Pathways to College (2008)
Report of the Adult Student Pathways to College Post-secondary Programs Project
Authors: College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading (CSC)
Collection: Research Materials
About 25 per cent of students in post-secondary Ontario college programs have delayed their entrance to college and have never participated in any form of post-secondary education. These delayed entrants take multiple pathways to college that include participating in courses or programs to upgrade their academic skills. This report examines the pathways to college taken by students who do not have an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent and have delayed entry to college education. Information on student pathways and mobility was collected from applicant and registrant data sources, focus groups with students and group discussions with staff.
The Adult Student Pathways to College Postsecondary Programs Project is one of the five projects on Improving College Systems Pathways undertaken by the Coordinating Committee of Vice-Presidents Academic on behalf of Ontario colleges. The key objectives of this project were to gain a better understanding of the multiple pathways adult upgrading students take to enter post-secondary college programs and suggest strategies to improve data collection and tracking of mobility of college academic upgrading students between colleges.

88. Prison Literacy: Implications for Program and Assessment Policy (1993)
Authors: Anabel P. Newman, Caroline Beverstock, Warren Lewis
Collection: Research Materials
The United States has a far higher precentage of people behind bars than any other other country and the prison population is rising steadily. This presents a double problem: the majority of prison inmates are (by almost any definition) also insufficiently literate. A strong correlation exists between ordinary criminal behavior and educational insufficiency. Ethnicity, class, socio-economic deprivation and other handicaps are also significant in contributing to the low literacy levels of the majority of the prison population. This report examines the professional and research literature concerning the state of literacy instruction of adult inmates in correctional institutions in the US to address the question: what are the most effective ways to deliver literacy instruction in prisons and in jails?
