The Division of Adult Education and Literacy (DAEL) promotes programs that help American adults get the basic skills they need to be productive workers, family members, and citizens. The major areas of support are Adult Basic Education, Adult Secondary Education and English Language Acquisition. These programs emphasize basic skills such as reading, writing, math, English language competency and problem-solving. Each year DAEL reports enrollment numbers in state-administered adult education programs for these major areas of support for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and eight U.S. jurisdictions (American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas, Palau, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands).
