This is the first nationally representative study of learners and programs using comparable measures to assess participants' literacy and numeracy skills.  The survey is the first allowing researchers to compare adult education students' skills to those of the general adult population.  The study also marks the first time a large-scale measure of literacy skills was conducted in both Spanish and English.  An interactive data tool also is available. Get the study and tool at  http://www.ets.org - Abstract and Full Report of the Adult Education Program Survey (AEPS) - Literacy Tool from ETS (3/5/07).
