Letter to the Committee on Education and Workforce from All4Ed CEO Dr. Amy Loyd Expressing Concerns About Adult Education Provisions in H.R. 8210

All4Ed submitted a letter written by Amy Loyd, Ed.L.D., former Assistant Secretary for Career, Technical, and Adult Education at the U.S. Department of Education and current President and CEO of All4Ed, on H.R. 8210, the Stronger Workforce for America Act of 2026. The letter outlines key considerations for strengthening the nation’s workforce and education systems, with a focus on the proposal to transfer adult education programs (Title II of WIOA) from the U.S. Department of Education to the Department of Labor and the importance of preserving their core educational mission and connection to broader learning pathways.
It also highlights the need for sustained investment in adult education and supports a bipartisan approach to WIOA reauthorization that enhances coordination between education and workforce systems while maintaining their distinct roles.
