Education in the British West Indies and the Implications for Teaching Adults in the United States.
Jacobs, Marjorie
Adult Literacy and Basic Education, v2 n4 p241-46 Win 1979
Discusses the development of the West Indian Trinidad and Tobago educational systems in three sections: pre-independence, post-independence, and implications for teaching West Indian adults in the U.S. These students often exhibit deficient vocabulary and conceptual skills. They emerge from a highly authoritarian, formal, competitive, and exclusionary educational system. (Author/CSS)
