The Office of Adult Education administers state and federal funding for adult basic education and literacy programs. The Office's Kentucky Adult Education program makes available to the citizens of the Commonwealth free adult education services across the state. The vision of Kentucky Adult Education is that Kentuckyians will experience a higher standard of living and quality of life through increased educational attainment.
Kentucky Adult Education provides free adult education services in all 120 counties to help Kentuckyians obtain a GED. Through Kentucky Adult Education, Kentuckyians can gain reading, math and communications skills that place them on a path to higher education and training, and earn certifications to move ahead in their careers.
Local Kentucky Adult Education teachers are ready in every county to help participants break through barriers to reach their education and career goals.
Currently, about 282,000 working-age Kentuckians do not have a high school or GED diploma. The mission of Kentucky Adult Education is to work with Kentuckians to improve their quality of life through education, training and employment so they can take care of themselves and their families and help their communities' and the state's economies expand and thrive.
