| Context & Usage |
In Adult Education, literacy is often connected to work, family, health, civic participation, digital access, and further learning rather than only school-based reading. In U.S. contexts, compare the term with local adult education, workforce, and credential language before treating it as identical. Some usage is tied to U.S. adult education policy or reporting and should be read in that context.
