Britain Tackles Illiteracy

Richards, Maggie

Change, 10, 8, 16-9, Sep 78

Britain's three-year literacy effort has brought together the federal government, a national broadcasting network, and the voluntary sector in a program that pioneered new methods of teaching basic literacy. Volunteer tutors are used in an educational television venture sponsored by the BBC and the newly-created Adult Literacy Resource Agency. (LBH)
