I understand that we've allocated for the current fiscal year some $27 million toward adult literacy and essential skills. I think it's important to focus not just on the dollar figures but the results. One of the concerns we've had about some of the legacy program funding on literacy from my department is that it has been focused on administrative overhead, personnel, consultations, conferences, and research, but not on actually teaching people how to read. I think what we're trying to do is focus on more concrete outcomes.
Quite frankly, I don't think it helps to get people into the workforce that we just constantly focus our funding on administrative overhead for non-profit organizations. We encourage those community-based organizations to raise those funds locally. We want to focus our dollars on actual programs.
