Let’s talk about literacy. Literacy needs are greater than you think. In Ireland, one in five adults has unmet literacy needs.
This means they may be unable to:
- fill in a form,
- understand health information,
- help kids with homework,
- use the internet.
Literacy affects everyone, everywhere. Literacy allows us to understand, use, and act on information. It allows us to stand up for ourselves on issues that affect our lives.
Literacy is more than reading and writing.
Literacy touches virtually every aspect of our lives – at home, at work and in the community. It has a great influence on our well-being. We are Adult Literacy for Life. We believe everyone should have the literacy, numeracy and digital literacy to participate in society and succeed in life. We are a 10 year, whole-of-government and society strategy dedicated to make this happen because literacy changes lives.
