Among the recommendations of the Texas Council on Vocational Education concerning literacy and training are the following: (1) the governor and legislature should conduct a statewide, multimedia campaign to heighten Texans' awareness of the importance of workplace literacy, dropout prevention, literacy programs, and the human and economic aspects of literacy; (2) continued funding and operation of the Texas Literacy Council; (3) increased funding of adult education and adult vocational education by $7.5 million per year, thereby doubling the state's investment in adult literacy programs; (4) development and implementation of an integrated delivery system to meet needs for vocational education; (5) expansion of the Joint Advisory Committee to include representatives from relevant state departments and from business, industry, and labor; (6) expansion of the Joint Advisory Committee's responsibilities to include development of the Master Plan and an integrated vocational education system; (7) "blanket weight" funding that more nearly reflects the costs of vocational education; (8) full formula funding for postsecondary occupational education and incentive funding for the targeted goals of postsecondary occupational education; (9) simplification of the process for community/junior college annexation; (10) administration of state funds through an appropriate agency to match the level of federal funding provided to the network of small business development centers; and (11) continued state funding for apprenticeship programs administered by the state board of education and the state higher education coordinating board.
