Functional Literacy of Young Guyanese Adults.
Jennings, Zellyne
International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift fuer Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue Internationale de l'Education, v46 n1-2 p93-116 May 2000
Describes the rationale, development, and administration of the test used for measuring levels of achievement in functional literacy in Guyana. Draws attention to the difficulty of attracting funding for literacy programmes from international aid agencies, given the inflated adult literacy rate that is reported for Guyana in international statistics. Underscores the importance of adult and continuing education. (Contains 39 references.) (VWC)
