  1. No daycare or inability to pay for available daycare

    A number of women with young children at home want to take correspondence courses or want a volunteer tutor because they are housebound but until September of this year there were no basic literacy courses offered through distance education.

  2. Shortage of volunteer tutor programs for those adults who are housebound and/or reluctant to attend a class.

  3. Lack of programs during the summer and difficulty in obtaining information about fall programs during the summer from colleges and school districts.

  4. Lack of programs in some small towns. In Dawson Creek, for example, a farmer has been unable to get help because there is no evening literacy program and no volunteer tutor program. (However, both the college and a private school are now investigating the possibility of starting a literacy program in the evening.)
