According to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy, a study issued in December 2005 by the National Center for Education Statistics, (U.S. Dept. of Education): - approximately 30 million adults have serious educational deficiencies which affect their ability to continue their education, benefit from occupational training programs, obtain and retain employment, or, in the case of limited English proficient individuals, succeed in their new home country;
- an additional 60 million have education deficiencies that could also prevent them from fulfilling their potential;
- thus, more than 90,000,000 adults (45% of the adult population) are in jeopardy of not fully participating in family, work, and community opportunities.
