Expressing support for designation of the week of September 13 through 19, 2026, as "National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week".
This House resolution expresses support for designating the week of September 13 through 19, 2026, as National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week to raise public awareness about these programs. The bill cites data showing that a significant portion of U.S. adults lack basic literacy, numeracy, or English proficiency skills, which are described as essential for economic competitiveness and national security. It encourages partnerships among educators, employers, and community organizations to expand access to training in areas such as digital literacy and workforce preparation. Additionally, the resolution calls on public, private, and nonprofit entities to support these initiatives to help individuals achieve economic mobility and strengthen their families and communities.
