The
purpose of this research is to gain an understanding
of
factors that may account for the differences between
adult literacy levels in Canada and Sweden as reported
in the
International
Adult Literacy Survey. This qualitative research compares
adult education in the two countries at three levels:
planning, implementation and personal experience. Rural
and urban locations in each country are studied using
a social policy perspective. The research is funded by
the Valuing
Literacy Strategic Funding and
is a partnership between the University
of Saskatchewan and the
Movement for Canadian Literacy.
