II. Program Information and Analysis
Population Targeting
In both FY 1993 and FY 1994, 27 adult education projects were funded to serve approximately 5,000 Indian adults (III.1).
Services
All projects were designed to help students prepare for the high school equivalency examination and/or provide adult basic education. Many projects also provided services in an additional area, such as basic literacy, career counseling, skills development, job placement, consumer education, or English as a second language (III.1).
Outcomes
Recent outcome data, such as the number of participants who have passed the General Education Development (GED) test or found jobs, are not available, nor has cost-effectiveness been evaluated in comparison with costs for other adult education programs. The most recent evaluation of Subpart 3 (formerly Part C) was completed in 1984.
