Georgia State receives grant to study adult literacy
Georgia State University will open a research center focused on improving adult literacy, officials announced Monday.
The Center for the Study of Adult Literacy is possible because of a five-year $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
It will focus on adults who read between a third- to eighth-grade levels and examine impediments to strengthening and growing their skills. The center will develop and evaluate methods to improve literacy.
