History of Adult Ed State Level | State histories give evidence of organized adult education in the 18th century. Evening schools for adults, part-time education, citizenship/Americanization classes for the foreign-born, and the Chautauqua experience of 1874 (Weischadle, D. E., 1968) were forerunners of the state/federal adult education movement. In a Council of Chief State School Officers publication in 1969, traces of the development of adult education since 1920 are recorded for many states (Pearson, J. B., & Fuller, E., 1969). California’s history project (1995 and 2005) indicates that adult education classes were held in San Francisco in 1856 through the use of state public funds, and Massachusetts had continuing education and evening schools as early as 1842 (Pearson, J. B., & Fuller, E., 1969). |
National efforts | National Efforts in Adult Education The National Education Association (NEA) had direct involvement in adult education through its Department of Adult Education from 1924 to 1951. The National Association for Public School Adult Education (NAPSAE) was an NEA Department from 1952 to 1972 (Luke, R. A., 1992). The public school association merged with the Adult Education Association (AEA/USA) in 1981; this merger established the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE; Seamon, D., 1992). However, significant national efforts by the Federal Government through adult education legislation were being implemented during this period as well |
Federal Legislation | With passage of the Economic Opportunity Act in 1964, adult basic education (ABE) legislation set the stage for the Federal Government’s initiative in addressing adult illiteracy in the United States. In 1966, Congress passed legislation removing adult education from the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) and vested authority for the program in the U.S. Office of Education (OE). Today, the adult education program is within the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Vocational and Adult Education (ED OVAE) and Division of Adult Education and Literacy (DAEL). The upcoming 50th anniversary of the passage of this Act will provide an opportunity to discuss what adult education has accomplished and what remains to be done. The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) has been operational since its passage in 1998. Its purpose is to consolidate, coordinate, and improve employment, training, literacy, and vocational programs. Title II of the Act is cited as the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) |
