The General Assembly recognizes that many adults need significant improvement in their <br>knowledge and skills to be full participants in Kentucky's workforce and society, to <br>develop and maintain healthy families, and to continue their education and training as <br>necessary throughout their lifetimes. The General Assembly also recognizes that: <br>(1) Adult illiteracy is a fundamental barrier to every major challenge facing Kentucky, including early childhood education, education reform, economic development, and <br>improving the health and well-being of Kentucky's families and communities; (2) Kentucky must be committed to addressing the low level of education of the adult population from all dimensions of state and local government, all education <br>institutions, business and civic leaders, voluntary organizations, and all others that <br>interact with the problem of adult illiteracy; and (3) Kentucky must have a multi-faceted strategy to address the diverse needs of the undereducated adult population in all counties and regions of the state. Effective: July 14, 2000 <br>History: Created 2000 Ky. Acts ch. 526, sec. 1, effective July 14, 2000.
