Targeting the Adult Learning Challenge in SREB States

By James Mingle and Angela Birkes

SREB recognizes the importance of increasing the number of adult learners who participate in postsecondary education. For the South's continuing social and economic progress, SREB states must ensure that “no adult is left behind.” This report highlights SREB's Adult Learning Campaign and efforts to address the adult learning challenge through greater awareness, use of e-learning and policy changes. This initiative is supported by a grant from Lumina Foundation for Education.

Keywords: adult learners, Electronic Campus
