The Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), Title II of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), is the main source of federal funding for adult education programs.

The Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences (IES), with funding from OCTAE, will be conducting the National Study of the Implementation of Adult Education Under WIOA. The study will collect data on how states and local adult education programs are providing adult education services under WIOA. Along with an analysis of state-level data and a survey of the state directors of adult education, a survey of approximately 2,200 federally-funded adult education programs will be conducted.

The study will be executed by American Institutes for Research (AIR). We encourage you to visit its website for more information (including a list of FAQs). If you have questions or want to find out more about the study, please feel free to contact AIR Project Director Stephanie Cronen at 202-403-5229 or [email protected].
