Program Evaluation: The last evaluation study on the Indian adult education program was conducted in 1984 in which project activities were found to be consistent with the intent of the program statute and regulations, and that services based on needs were provided. The study also suggested an overlap of activities between the services projects and planning, pilot and demonstration projects; and that some planning, pilot and demonstration projects were not cost effective. Based on these findings, the Department discontinued funding for planning, pilot and demonstration projects in adult education.
