Adult Education is a system of instruction designed for learners (typically 18 and older) who are returning to school to improve literacy, learn English or another language, develop job skills, earn a high school diploma or equivalent, or prepare for higher education. In California, an Adult Education Teaching Credential is the state-issued license that specifically authorizes an educator to teach these adult learners in approved adult education programs.
