Abstract: Section 243 of the Adult 

Education and Family Literacy Act 

authorizes the Department to establish 

and carry out a program of national 

leadership activities to enhance the 

quality of adult education and literacy 

programs nationwide. Many State and 

local agencies have developed a variety 

of interventions designed to re-engage 

out-of-school youth and assist them 

with the completion of both a highschool equivalency credential and a 

postsecondary certificate or degree. 

While the Department is generally 

aware of these efforts, there is little 

documentation of either their specific 

composition or effectiveness. This 

discretionary grant competition is 

intended to identify existing 

instructional practices of State and local 

agencies for improving the quality of 

adult education services so that more 

adults become ‘‘college ready’’ and able 

to transition to postsecondary 

education. 

This information collection is being 

submitted under the Streamlined 

Clearance Process for Discretionary 

Grant Information Collections (1890–

0001). Therefore, the 30-day public 

comment period notice will be the only 

public comment notice published for 

this information collection.
