Exeter Adult Ed Celebrates Adult Education & Family Literacy Week

This week is National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week to help raise public awareness about the need and value for adult education and literacy. #aeflweek2024

As we know, Adults who participate in adult education programs have higher incomes, resulting in more spending and higher tax revenue for their communities. They have better health outcomes, leading to greater workplace productivity and reduction in community health care costs.

Did you know that:

- Over 40 million adults in the U.S. cannot read above a 3rd grade level, and nearly 63 million cannot do 4th grade math.

- One in five adults have trouble reading communications from their children’s teacher.

- One in three adults have difficulty creating a household budget.

- One in four adults have trouble navigating websites and using digital tools at work.

We would like to help you or any friends or family to improve their Literacy skills. Check out our website at the link below for more information on the classes and program we are offering this FALL: https://adulted.sau16.org/
