About Texas LEARNS

Vision Statement

Every Texan, regardless of age, is entitled to a basic education.

Mission Statement

The mission of adult education and family literacy is to ensure that all adults who live in Texas have the skills necessary to function effectively in their personal and family lives, in the workplace, and in the community.

Under an agreement with Texas Education Agency (TEA), Texas LEARNS, housed in the Harris County Department of Education, provides nondiscretionary grant management functions, program assistance and other statewide support services to Texas Adult Education and Family Literacy Providers. The Department of State Initiatives is responsible for all discretionary, policy, and monitoring functions. The joint mission of TEA and Texas LEARNS is to ensure that all adults who live in Texas have the skills necessary to function effectively in their personal and family lives, in the workplace, and in the community.

Professional Development is provided to the Adult Education Community through the Project GREAT Adult Education and Family Literacy Regional Centers of Excellence.
