Take Action Today!
Keep Pushing for Adult Education Funding!
Congress announced funding levels for its fiscal year (FY) 2022 appropriations bill, which includes $690 million for adult education. It is extremely exciting to see Congress recognize the value and importance of adult education by providing an increase of $15.5 million to the Adult Education State Grant program.
This bill still needs to be passed by the House and Senate to become final law, so please continue your advocacy push to ensure this funding level remains intact. Because of our hard work, programs will have more funding to build capacity to serve more learners, support full-time teaching models and invest in effective programs, like Integrated Educational Training (IET).
