Strengthening Research in Adult Education Act

This bill amends the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 to prioritize research on adult education programs. It adds specific definitions for "digital literacy skills" and "information literacy skills" and requires federal research on how adult education programs improve these skills, literacy, numeracy, and job readiness for adult learners. Key mechanisms include mandating studies on successful program outcomes and identifying effective metrics to assess adult education progress. The changes directly affect federal education research programs and adult education providers receiving federal funding.
