of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 

amended, and its implementing Federal 

Regulations at 34 CFR Part 370. Data 

from the form have been used to

comprehensive performance 

accountability system be established to 

assess the effectiveness of eligible 

agencies in achieving continuous 

improvement of adult education and 

literacy activities in order to optimize 

the return on the Federal investment. 

The accountability system must include 

the following measures of performance. 

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. States submit 10 

required tables, 6 optional tables, 4
