Literacy must not be thought of as an elitist concept where only a privileged few are entitled to a formal education, but as a humanistic concept promoting human culture. A recent study found that by the year 2000 a majority of all new jobs will require a postsecondary education. All indications are that many students will continue to enter college with only limited literacy skills. Part of the problem is that while college faculty typically refuse to accept the responsibility for teaching students with limited literacy skills, remedial programs alone cannot bear the full burden. One potential way of helping students with limited literacy skills is to employ graduate assistants to work with small groups. It cannot be assumed that the situation will solve itself or simply disappear. It is the responsibility of educators to provide help to those with limited literacy skills. (RS)
