How does the government's special intervention program for the unemployed differ from what tutors consider 'best practice' within adult literacy and basic education?: a philosophical enquiry

The Special Intervention Program (SIP) is the Australian Government's strategy for implementing its policy of training a workforce for the 21st century.
