The Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), Title II of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, funds state grants to provide free or low-cost adult education services including basic literacy, high school equivalency (GED/HiSET), and English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction for adults who lack a high school diploma or basic English proficiency. Services are delivered through community colleges, community-based organizations, and public schools across every state and territory. Programs also include integrated education and training, workforce preparation, and transition support to postsecondary education or employment.
