Illiteracy and Inner-City Unemployment.
Bernick, Michael
Phi Delta Kappan, v67 n5 p364-67 Jan 1986
The San Francisco Renaissance is a job training program for unemployed innercity youths. The illiteracy rates of youths applying to the program are high so a literacy class was developed to raise the students' reading and math skills to the eighth- and ninth-grade levels required by the technical job market for which they are being trained.
