Bill > SCR117

This concurrent resolution designates September 14-20, 2025, as "Adult Education and Family Literacy Week" in Delaware, recognizing the significant impact of adult education programs in the state. The resolution highlights that Delaware's adult education serves over 8,800 individuals annually through various programs like James H. Groves Adult High School, Adult Basic Education, GED® Preparation, English as a Second Language, Family Literacy, and Registered Apprenticeship programs. These programs help adult learners access job opportunities, prepare for postsecondary education, training, and certifications, and increase community engagement. The resolution also emphasizes the importance of family literacy programs, which serve more than 140 families statewide, engaging multiple generations in learning together and supporting parents and caregivers in becoming leaders within their families and partners in their children's educational development. By recognizing this week, the Delaware General Assembly aims to highlight the critical role of adult education in building skills, engaging families, and creating community-minded citizens.
