Effects of Mandatory Basic Education for Adult AFDC Recipients.

Freidlander, Daniel; Martinson, Karin

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v18 n4 p327-37 Win 1996

A study of a program requiring participation in basic education by adult recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) finds only small education effects. Positive results from some sites suggest that a focused program effort may result in increased numbers of equivalency certificates and improved achievement test scores. (SLD)
