Adult Education

The Adult Education program is designed to improve educational opportunities for adult American Indians/ Alaska Natives who lack the level of literacy skills for productive employment. The Adult Education program also expands and improves existing programs for delivering adult education services, such as the GED programs and Adult Basic Education courses, including delivery of these services to educationally disadvantaged American Indian/ Alaska Native adults.

Through the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Tribal Program Allocations contracts with a tribe to administer the Adult Education programs. If the tribe is not administering the Adult Education program, potential applicants will be referred to the nearest BIE Education Line office for an application and general information.

The Office of Indian Education Programs annually collects information in preparing an annual report of the Adult Education activities.
