With budget cuts in workforce and education looming, the Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE) and the National Council of State Directors of Adult Education (NCSDAE) have launched a national campaign called Educate & Elevate to help America understand the importance of adult education and its impact on the lives of adult learners and the economy.
The campaign mobilizes 55,000 adult educators across the country using storytelling strategies and data points to highlight the relevancy of adult education.
