Nearly 1 million Maryland adults lack high school diplomas or need English language instruction even as the demand for highly trained workers is increasing, according to a Maryland State Department of Education report.

The waiting list for adult education services across the state has about 5,000 people, with the largest number of people seeking instruction in English as a second language, the report said. The programs serve 36,000 to 38,000 people annually, the report said.
