The adult education program in Atlanta Public Schools is being praised for making improvements.

Beverly Smith, assistant commissioner for the Technical College System of Georgia’s Office of Adult Education, said the program should share its practices with other struggling adult education programs across the state.

The adult education program implemented a plan to ensure educational gains for students after it was on a program improvement plan in 2013, according to the school district.
