National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week, September 18-22, 2023

This week, September 18-22, 2023, adult education programs around the U.S. are celebrating National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week. Throughout the week, adult learners, educators, industry, community partners, legislators, and supporters of adult education will gather to celebrate the successes taking place in adult education programs as well as to meet with legislators on continuing adult education needs.

 

In a recent press release leading up to this week, Sharon Bonney, Chief Executive Officer of the Coalition on Adult Basic Education, noted the millions of Americans who lack the reading, writing, and math skills to succeed in post-secondary training and the workforce. Much of the work COABE is doing this week will be to educate legislators on why adult education is so vital, especially for those individuals who don’t have the financial means to pursue training on their own.

 

Access the National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week website to learn more about the calendar of activities and resources to help promote the achievements of your students!

Quarter 4 Expenditure Report

The consortium will have until October 20, 2023, to certify the Quarter 4 reports. Since this is the closeout of a program year, it will be extremely important to ensure all quarterly expense reports are accurate prior to certification. Once the reports are certified, the consortium will no longer have access to make changes.


Please note this new deadline is an extension from the original due date of September 30 due to issues submitting and certifying in NOVA.
