    (c) Encourage the establishment of adult education programs that 
will:
    (1) Enable Indian adults to acquire adult basic educational skills 
necessary for literate functioning;
    (2) Provide Indian adults with sufficient basic education to enable 
them to benefit from job training and retraining programs and to obtain 
and retain productive employment so that they might more fully enjoy the 
benefits and responsibilities of citizenship; and
    (3) Enable Indian adults, who so desire, to continue their education 
to at least the level of completion of adult secondary education.
