Adult Literacy in the Commonwealth Caribbean with Special Reference to a Study of the Functional Literacy of Young Guyanese Adults.
Jennings, Zellynne
International Journal of Lifelong Education, v19 n5 p385-406 Sep-Oct 2000

Failure to represent the situation accurately prolongs the lack of political will to deal with the issue. (SK)
