Community College Daily:
Why are community colleges doubling-down on

What does commitment to equity and anti-racism mean in adult education? |
|
|
In the context of a rampant triple pandemic of COVID, racism, and economic inequality, the cards are stacked heavily against adult learners. The question for us as a field is what should be adult education’s role in addressing these systemic inequalities.
Like so many of our colleagues and partner organizations, we at World Education are taking a hard look at what does a true commitment to equity and anti-racism mean in our work in adult education and workforce development. Learn more about our collective commitment to advancing access to high-quality adult education and digital inclusion.
