Adult Literacy in Santa Rosa County
Written by Staff Reporters on . Posted in Education.
In a recently released study done by the Program for the International Assessment for Adult Competencies (PIAAC), average scores for literacy were assessed comparatively among 34 developed countries. Scores were based on results received in testing of adults aged 16-65. While scores for literacy in the U.S. were not significantly different than the average PIAAC international scores, countries such as Japan, Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Estonia and Belgium all scored significantly higher than adults in the U.S. As a result, the PIAAC study brings to light the question of whether or not adult literacy is an on-going problem in America.

This has been an interesting week. A few months ago Navarre Press signed a book deal with Arcadia Publishing to produce a primarily pictorial history of Holley-Navarre, Fla. All proceeds on our part will be set aside for a historical society and we disclosed that to everyone we have spoken with. Since that time, our writer, Jon Crider, has been talking to our neighbors in Holley to obtain photographs. We were told that if we were interested we should come up to Holley on Saturday and help with the Holley Point Cemetery clean-up to “prove” that we were really interested. Jon Crider and I were there at 8 a.m. Saturday morning to help clean up with three others. Five more helpful people showed up a little later. Those that could not physically help out provided food.
