## Summary

**National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week** would designate September 13–19, 2026 to spotlight adult literacy, numeracy, digital and English‑language learning and their role in workforce readiness and family success. - Families: Family literacy programs strengthen parental skills, boost engagement in children's education, and support intergenerational opportunity. - Adult learners: The resolution highlights large needs. About 28% of U.S. adults score Level 1 or below in literacy and more than 20 million adults have limited English proficiency. - Workers and employers: It calls for stronger partnerships among education providers, employers, colleges, and workforce systems to build clearer pathways into training, apprenticeships, and careers. - Providers and communities: It urges public, private, and nonprofit organizations to expand access to high-quality adult education, digital literacy, and family literacy services nationwide.
