Summary
This resolution designates September 13–19, 2026 as _National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week_ and spotlights adult education and family literacy as essential to workforce readiness and community strength. It cites that about 28% of adults score at Level 1 or below in literacy and 34% in numeracy, that nearly 21 million adults lack a high school credential, and that more than 20 million have limited English proficiency, and it urges public, private, and nonprofit partners to expand access to literacy, English-language, digital, and workforce training so adults can gain jobs, advance careers, and support their families.
