Local summer programs funded under the Summer Youth Employment and Training Program have added assessment of educational deficiencies and remedial education to their work experience programs, but the number of disadvantaged youth served and the intensity of the programs varied greatly. Evaluation data were gathered by telephone interviews with officials of 200 Service Delivery Areas (SDAs) in 43 states and the District of Columbia. Principal findings include the following: (1) remedial education greatly increased; (2) needs assessments were generally adequate; (3) while remediation serves some school dropouts (four percent), it is targeted to younger in-school youth (43 percent were under 16 years old), with many from welfare households (34 percent); (4) while pre- and post-program test results indicated gains in skills, overall program effectiveness could not be determined; and (5) overall program reductions were significant but anticipated due to the cost of adding the remedial programs. Matters for Congressional consideration include the following: (1) program evaluation; (2) definition of the amount of remediation that must be provided; and (3) assurance that all participants who need remediation receive it. Statistical data are included on nine tables and 29 graphs. The appendices include the following: (1) a list of service delivery areas (SDAs) surveyed; (2) a technical description of survey and sampling methodology; (3) summaries of remedial education provided by nine SDAs; (4) data supporting figures in the report text; and (5) a list of major contributors to the report.
