Theoretically You Can't Teach Adults to Read and Write: But Just Keep On Doing It (2006)
Authors: Thomas G. Sticht
The author writes on "Why is it so hard to get funding for adult literacy education"?
He explains that innumerable studies, reports, TV shows, and statistical surveys in most of the industrialized nations of the world declare that their nation is being brought to its economic knees because of widespread low basic skills (literacy, numeracy) amongst the adult population. But repeated calls for funding commensurate with the size of the problem go unanswered. Why?
