The return on investment into adult education is undeniable. The adult ed graduate can typically earn close to $10,000 more per year once they get their diploma![i] The economy is impacted as well. For every 400,000 adults who earn a high school diploma, we gain 2.5 billion back in tax revenue and reduced expenses.[ii] That’s $6,250 per person! On top of that, the estimated value to our economy in reduced costs for public support programs for adults with low skills and low literacy levels is $200 billion annually!
