National Reporting System for Adult Education, 2016-17
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
The National Reporting System for Adult Education, 2016-17 (NRS 2016-17), is part of the Adult Education and Family Literacy
program; program data is available since 1997 at <http://www.nrsweb.org>. NRS 2016-17 (http://www.nrsweb.org) is a cross-sectional
study that is designed to monitor performance accountability for the federally funded, state-administered adult education
program. States will be required to submit their progress in adult education and literacy activities by reporting data on
core indicators of outcomes on all adult learners who receive 12 or more hours of service as well as state expenditures on
the adult education program. States can also report on additional, optional secondary measures that include outcomes related
to employment, family, and community. The study will be conducted using a web-based reporting system of states. NRS 2016-17
is a universe survey, and all states are expected to submit data. Key statistics that will be produced from the study include
student demographics, receipt of secondary school diploma or general education development (GED) certificate, placement in
postsecondary education or training, educational gain, and employment placement and retention.
