The Adult Basic and Literacy Education (ABLE) program provides educational opportunities for adults who lack a foundation of literacy skills needed for effective citizenship, further education, and productive employment. ABLE programs are held in public schools, learning centers, community-based centers, homeless shelters, correctional institutions, colleges, work sites, and institutions for the disabled. These programs provide free instruction in basic literacy, workplace literacy, family literacy, and English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction, and preparation for the General Education Development (GED) test. In Fiscal Year 1997, 160 different basic instructional grant projects were awarded to local providers for instruction and services.
