A major component of national education reform has been the setting of national goals and the development of national standards in many disciplines. Standards for teaching, learning, and professional development have been established to improve education and to meet the National Education Goals. (Goal Six of the National Education Goals specifically addresses adult literacy and lifelong learning.)
