All ESC-20 Adult Education Programs are funded with state and federal monies received from the Texas Education Agency. These programs include:
The Adult Education and Family Literacy Program (Title II of the Workforce Investment Act)
The adult education program in Texas provides literacy, English language proficiency for limited English proficient adults, basic academic and functional context skills, and secondary level proficiencies for out-of-school youth and adults who are beyond the age of compulsory school attendance who function at less than a secondary completion level.
The Even Start Family Literacy Program
The objectives of the program are to help parents become full partners in their children’s education, help children to reach their full potential as learners, and provide literacy training for their parents by integrating adult education and early childhood education in a unified family-centered program. The program serves economically disadvantaged families with parents who are eligible for adult education and their children below eight years of age.
Adult Education of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Recipients
Provides adult education instruction to recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Recipients of TANF benefits are required to participate in adult basic education and job training programs as a condition for eligibility. The overall aim of the program is to move TANF recipients into self-supporting employment, thereby reducing the number of long-term welfare recipients.
English Literacy and Civics Education
Provides instruction to adult learners on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, naturalization procedures, civic participation, and U. S. history and government in order to acquire the skills and knowledge to become active and informed parents, workers, and community members.
