Adult Education

Florida Adult Education programs offer a range of instruction that help adults get the basic skills they need to be productive workers, family members, and citizens. The National Reporting System (NRS) for Adult Education is the accountability system for Federally funded adult education programs, authorized by Section 212 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The NRS includes WIOA primary indicators of performance, measures that describe adult education students and their program participation, methodologies for collecting performance data, and program reporting procedures. All agencies receiving WIOA AGE, IELCE, or Corrections grant funds, are subject to NRS accountability NRS eligible programs.
