In 1990, 419,429 adults participated in adult education programs. Adult educational programs assisted adults in completing requirements for U.S. citizenship and getting off welfare. A total of 9,966 adults obtained employment; 5,424 improved their employment. Just over 60 percent of the adult students served were minorities. Over 3,000 adults earned high school diplomas by completing coursework in adult high school classes; 32,722 adults earned a State of Florida High School Diploma (GED).
