Many countries have recently launched massive programs to promote nation-wide adult literacy, but while these efforts have been commendable, it has been observed that neo-literates who acquire literacy through such programs have great difficulty in retaining it; hence an urgent need to develop suitable programs of post-literacy and continuing education has been felt. In 1980, Unesco's Institute for Education initiated a major research project designed to respond to this need. The research was carried out within the broad framework of lifelong education, and resulted in the series of case studies of which this volume is a part. The document includes the following reports: "Literacy and Post-Literacy in the Framework of Continuing Education: The Algerian Experience" (Abdullatif Fetni); "Learning Strategies for Post-Literacy and Basic Level Education in Egypt in the Perspective of Lifelong Education" (Abdel Fattah Galal, Sami Nassar); and "Development of Learning Strategies for Literacy, Post-Literacy, and Continuing Education in Kuwait" (Yacoub A. Al-Sharah, Deeb Khabbas). Each report includes background information on the country and its educational system, a description of literacy and continuing education programs, and a discussion of learning strategies used. Numerous statistical tables and appendixes are also included. (CML)
