These measures are referred to in AEFLA as core indicators are: Demonstrated improvements in adult learners’ literacy skill levels; placement in, retention in, or completion of postsecondary education, training, unsubsidized employment or career advancement; and receipt of a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent.
