A resolution expressing support for designation of the week of September 14 through 20, 2025, as "National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week".
This resolution (SRES 400) expresses the U.S. Senate's support for designating September 14-20, 2025, as "National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week." It does not create new laws or allocate funding but aims to raise public awareness about adult education and family literacy programs. The resolution highlights statistics on adult literacy gaps (e.g., 59 million adults lacking basic skills) and encourages broader community support for these programs. It calls on public, private, and nonprofit entities to increase access to adult education and family literacy services. The bill directly affects awareness and advocacy efforts, not policy implementation.
