This resolution expresses support for designating the week of September 14 through 20, 2025, as "National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week." It highlights that millions of adults in the United States lack basic literacy, numeracy, and digital skills, as well as high school credentials or adequate English-language proficiency, which are crucial for success in society and the workplace. The resolution emphasizes that improving these skills is essential for economic well-being, national security, and individual opportunity, noting the positive impact of parental literacy on children's educational success. It encourages people to support programs assisting individuals in need of adult education, workforce skills, and family literacy, and calls on public, private, and nonprofit entities to increase access to these vital programs to foster a fully literate society.
