The Government is moving to develop a National Adult Literacy Strategy and Action Plan.

Programme Manager with the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and the Third Sector, Erika Watson, says the initiative aims to respond to the needs of adult learners, employers, educators and communities across the island.

She says the Ministry recognises that some adults experience challenges with reading, writing, interpreting information and applying these skills confidently in everyday life.
