Army's Basic Skills Education Program




The Army has spent nearly $160 million
since 1979 on its basic skills education
program. The program has helped a small
percentage of soldiers improve their basic
skills--primarily reading and math skills.
GAO found that the Army has not related
basic skill objectives to job performance nor
has it made sure that all installations
consistently operate the program.

Educators and others doubt that short-term
remedial programs--like the Army's--can
effectively counter deficiencies in basic
skills. The Army has taken some actions to
address the problems. GAO recommends
several ways the Army can further improve
its basic skills education program.
