Here is what they say it will do, anyway:

Developing a 21st Century Delivery System for Adult Education Literacy and Workplace Skills Services:

• Expands access to adult education, literacy services, and workplace skills training.

• Expands access to postsecondary education and credentials to achieve and maintain economic self-sufficiency for adult learners.

• Supports integrated adult education and training.

• Provides support for English-literacy services and integrated English-literacy and civics education programs for adult learners.

• Authorizes increased investments in technology (such as online education) and digital literacy, providing needed training and education resources to rural and urban areas.

• Enhances support for research on innovative methods and policies that help accelerate progress for basic skills students, improving the likelihood that they will receive postsecondary credentials.
