This statement of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada, focuses on the approaches that provincial ministers have taken to address the problem of adult illiteracy. First, it sets out concisely the nature and extent of functional illiteracy in Canada. Second, it describes a sample of the initiatives already under way to create effective systems and programs. These provincial responses are summarized: administrative and educational arrangements related to the needs of illiterate adults, innovative learning materials and expanded training for literacy personnel, and close cooperation in literacy programming with voluntary agencies and community groups. Third, this statement identifies a number of activities on which provincial ministers, in cooperation with institutions, voluntary agencies, and other interested parties, will focus in the future. These include sharing information on literacy programs, clarifying roles, promoting public awareness of adult illiteracy, introducing appropriate mechanisms to increase coordination, expanding training for literacy personnel, developing programs, and increasing funding. (A complete French version of the statement is provided.) (YLB)

In early 1999, ABC Canada and Literacy British Columbia (BC) worked with 55 literacy organizations across Canada to study student recruitment and retention. Telephone interviews were conducted with 338 people who had contacted programs seeking literacy information or services (callers). Findings indicated callers constituted a broad cross-section of people, from all age groups, from large and small communities, with a very wide range of formal education and employment status; callers heard about programs and how to contact them through media advertising and posters, telephone book, community groups, agencies, schools, and word-of-mouth; callers were seeking help with reading and writing, getting a high school diploma or credits, math alone or as a component with reading and writing, employability skills, or English as a second language; more callers were interested in improving literacy skills for personal, social, and general educational reasons than for job or retraining purposes; less than half of callers enrolled in a program; program/policy-related factors were the main reasons driving non-enrollment for the most callers; socioeconomic-circumstantial factors were the main reason reported by more than half of dropouts; and of those who had completed or were still in a program, 88 percent reported high levels of satisfaction with program level, content, and teaching structure. National Follow-Up Survey is appended. (Contains 48 figures, 42 references, and an index.) (YLB)

A study was conducted to analyze the impact of employee illiteracy on Canadian businesses. The opinions of 626 vice presidents of human resources or general managers were collected in a random sample of 2,000 Canadian establishments with more than 50 employees and 300 head offices of larger firms (25 percent return). The information was supplemented by a series of 13 case studies and a round table of literacy experts. Some of the principal findings of the study were as follows: (1) 70 percent of the 626 surveyed companies feel that they have a significant problem with functional illiteracy; (2) 26 percent of employers responding report that illiteracy has slowed down the introduction of new technology, and 34 percent report that it impedes training; (3) 27 percent of reporting companies indicate that product quality is adversely affected by illiteracy in the work force; (4) 40 percent of companies see the effects of illiteracy in errors in inputs and processes in production; (5) problems with functionally illiterate workers arise in all regions of the country and in all economic sectors; and (6) the industrial sector with the most acute problems of functional illiteracy is the restaurant, accommodation, and hospitality sector. The study concluded that Canadian business is conscious of illiteracy in the workplace and that many companies have been moving to deal with it. However, increasingly complex workplace requirements in the future will necessitate changes in education to ensure literacy and the nation's competitiveness. (15 charts/tables) (KC)
