“The high illiteracy rate among the Hispanic immigrant population in the United States is being addressed by Claflin University’s Assistant Professor of Education Dr. Nan Li, who has been awarded a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education based on her research into the problem.
This is Li’s second grant. As a result of the first grant for $35,200, the School of Education formulated a training program for 10 of Claflin’s teacher candidates, who visited schools and homes to help both students and their parents improve their literacy and use and pronunciation of English.”
