ProLiteracy, the world's largest organization of adult literacy and basic education programs, today called for greater U.S. investment in foreign assistance funding for literacy programs, funding for UNESCO literacy efforts and expanding student scholarship funding similar to its program that brought President Obama's father from Kenya to the United States.
ProLiteracy recommends that the Obama administration include an adult literacy component in the Initiating Foreign Assistance Reform Act of 2009 (H.R. 2139), and develop policies to ensure UNESCO funding for adult literacy is deployed effectively. In addition, ProLiteracy recommends the U.S. Government increase scholarships for promising literacy leaders and practitioners…

One of the most frequently heard buzzwords in your child’s school these days is “information literacy.” What this means is that you’re unlikely to find your child poring over the “Great Expectations” anthology you studied when you were in grade school.

But information literacy refers as much to the information contained in math, science, history and world cultures courses as it does to…
