Virginia Adult Education needs your voice NOW
Virginia Adult Education needs your voice NOW
The Office of Management and Budget is withholding federal funding for adult education even though these funds were fully approved by Congress for Fiscal Year 2025. This includes the Adult Education Basic Grants and Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education (IELCE) programs, which serve nearly 20,000 adult Virginians yearly.
Right now, Virginia Adult Education programs are without federal money. This means programs will close. Educators will be laid off. Learners will be closed out of classes.
We don’t know if or when the funds will be released.
