| Abstract | An educated, skilled, flexible work force will be the key to southern economic development. The South must have workers better equipped to learn modern, ever-changing work skills. The lack of these skills prevents the region from achieving the productivity gains that it could otherwise accomplish. There is a growing interest on the part of policymakers throughout the South in attacking the problems of illiteracy and undereducation in the adult population. Nearly all the southern states have created some sort of coalition to coordinate various literacy efforts--sometimes in conjunction with state-financed education programs and sometimes as entirely separate entities. The creation of a regional strategy--including, perhaps, the establishment of a southern regional literacy center--could be a major step toward a comprehensive assault on functional illiteracy.
