Reauthorization of Adult and Vocational Education Programs

概要

The Secretary of Education announces public hearings on the reauthorization of programs under the Adult Education Act, the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act and the National Literacy Act of 1991. The hearings for the Adult Education Act, Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act, and the National Literacy Act will provide an opportunity for interested persons to present their views on key issues and programs for consideration in the development of the Department's reauthorization proposals for these important program areas. Separate hearings for adult education and for vocational education will be held at each site. Separate hearings are an attempt to ensure participation of as many presenters as possible and are not meant to limit the scope of discussion. Commenters are encouraged to address reauthorization issues that cut across both the adult and vocational education programs or that address linking these programs with other Federal programs or initiatives.
