Abstract
This article explores the far-reaching impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the field of adult education, with a particular emphasis on the importance of health literacy in adult literacy programs. Research shows that the pandemic has prompted educators to re-examine the concept of adult literacy, recognizing that traditional, narrow understandings of adult literacy may limit the effectiveness of adult learning interventions. The article also pointed out that regions such as Australia have the problem of low adult literacy rates. Although measures have been taken to improve literacy rates, many adults still lack basic literacy skills. Additionally, the pandemic has highlighted the importance of digital skills and health literacy, signaling how adult learning will continue to evolve in the future. The authors plan to use the acquired knowledge and skills to engage in curriculum redesign to ensure the reach and impact of adult literacy programs.
