An Evaluation of Effects of the Learnfare Program
|
| Wisconsin’s Learnfare program is
intended to encourage enrollment, regular attendance, and high
school graduation of the completion of high school equivalency
programs among 13- to 19-year-old recipients of Aid to Families
with Dependent Children (AFDC). These teenagers, who can be
either dependent children or parents, risk losing part or all
of their families’ monthly AFDC grants if they do not maintain
enrollment and acceptable school attendance. The Learnfare data
were collected as part of a federally-mandated evaluation of
the Learnfare program. The research sample for that evaluation
was selected between March 1993 and April 1994, and data on
the sample were collected through January 1996.
