GO HIGHER AMERICA

An economy that thrives in the new global environment! The aspirations and
dreams of individual Americans! The well being of America as a democratic
society and world leader! Powerful demographic evidence points to a clear
connection between these values and the need for adult education and
literacy services in America — on a scale unprecedented in history.

The National Commission on Adult Literacy focuses on that connection and
recognizes that fundamental reform in the adult education and literacy
enterprise is essential. In mid-2008, the Commission will produce action
recommendations to squarely meet the challenge — with policies,
programs, priorities, and partnerships that put us on the path to a better future.

Whether you are a business leader, a philanthropist, a current or potential
student, a worker, a policy maker, a service provider, or member of the
general public or other stakeholder group, this web site is for you. It aims
to focus attention on the great cause of adult education and literacy. It is
the Commission's cause. It should be one of yours! We hope you will
follow the Commission's work. Be aware of its diverse membership.
