Notes

1. Workplace literacy is a relatively new concept and a recent programme and, for the present, may be seen as a uniquely American initiative. There is no entry on "workplace literacy" in The International Encyclopedia of Education (Second Edition), Editors-in-Chief, Torsen Husen & T. Neville Postlethwaite. Pergamon. Elsevier Science Inc., Tarrytown, N.Y., 1994.
