This book was released on 2009 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is no secret that America is at risk of losing its place as a world leader in education. Some 88 million adults in America need help with their English as a Second Language (ESL) and basic skills, yet the nation is currently providing services to only 3 million people. The Commission on Adult Literacy calls for bold change at the state and federal levels to address this challenge. The author offers two overarching recommendations: (1) Congress should transform the adult education and literacy system as it is now known into an adult education and workforce skills system with the capacity to effectively serve 20 million adults annually by the year 2020; and (2) Congress and state governments should make readiness for postsecondary education and workforce the primary mission of the adult education and workforce skills system. The recommended federal and state actions offered in this paper aim to increase dramatically the number of adult Americans with limited basic skills who receive basic skills instruction as defined in the Act. They should result in "seamless pathways of instruction" from the lowest levels of proficiency to attainment of a General Educational Development (GED) and/or readiness for occupational and/or postsecondary education. (Contains 3 footnotes.).

Download or read book King Leopold s Ghost written by Adam Hochschild and published by Picador. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an introduction by award-winning novelist Barbara Kingsolver In the late nineteenth century, when the great powers in Europe were tearing Africa apart and seizing ownership of land for themselves, King Leopold of Belgium took hold of the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. In his devastatingly barbarous colonization of this area, Leopold stole its rubber and ivory, pummelled its people and set up a ruthless regime that would reduce the population by half. . While he did all this, he carefully constructed an image of himself as a deeply feeling humanitarian. Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize in 1999, King Leopold’s Ghost is the true and haunting account of this man’s brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. It is also the inspiring and deeply moving account of a handful of missionaries and other idealists who travelled to Africa and unwittingly found themselves in the middle of a gruesome holocaust. Instead of turning away, these brave few chose to stand up against Leopold. Adam Hochschild brings life to this largely untold story and, crucially, casts blame on those responsible for this atrocity.
