Summary

National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week designates September 14 through 20, 2025 to raise public awareness about adult education, workforce skills, and family literacy. The resolution cites December 2024 and 2023 data showing about 59 million U.S. adults lack basic literacy, numeracy, or digital skills, roughly 21 million lack a high school credential, and about 20 million lack adequate English-language skills. It encourages individuals and public, private, and nonprofit organizations to support and expand programs that increase access to adult education and family literacy to boost economic opportunity, children’s learning, and civic participation.
