What’s New at MCAEMASSBUDGET REPORT HIGHLIGHTS ABE! WIA REAUTHORIZATION Adult Basic Education in Massachusetts currently receives about $10 million from the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title II. WIA is due to be reauthorized this year. The US Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) is soliciting testimony to inform the reauthorization process. In the testimony that MCAE submiltted, we emphasized that Title II is an educational program, best administered through US Department of Education. We also wanted the reauthorization to continue to allow the diversity of providers that we currently have in Massachusetts. We are also recommending that the Title II appropriation be $850 million, an increase of nearly $300 million from current levels.
