The National Reporting System (NRS) for Adult Education, 2017-18 (NRS 2017-18) is a performance accountability system for the national adult education program that is authorized under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), title II of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014. More information about the program is available at . NRS 2017-18 is a cross-sectional data collection that is designed to monitor performance accountability for the federally funded, state-administered adult education program. States are required to submit their progress in adult education and literacy activities by reporting data on the WIOA primary indicators of performance for all AEFLA program participants who receive 12 or more hours of service, as well as state expenditures on the adult education program. States may also report on additional, optional secondary measures that include outcomes related to employment, family, and community. The data collection is conducted using a web-based reporting system. NRS 2017-18 is a universe data collection activity, and all states are required to submit performance data. Key statistics that are produced from the data collection include student demographics, receipt of secondary school diploma or a high school equivalency (HSE) credential, placement in postsecondary education or training, measurable skill gain, and employment outcomes.
