The Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) at the U.S. Department of Education has released a new report, Making Skills Everyone’s Business: A Call to Transform Adult Learning in the United States. The report, originally slated to be released in April of 2014, offers seven strategies, “grounded in evidence and informed by effective and emerging practices,” that hold promise for “improving the conditions that create and perpetuate poor literacy, numeracy, and problem solving.”

OCTAE has also produced a recorded video announcement about the report from Acting Assistant Secretary Johan E. Uvin.
