A network of many organisations in the field of adult literacy is active across the entire country, acting at local and regional levels, providing for basic education in diverse settings including workplaces, communities or prisons. “Literacy Aotearoa“ provides users with information regarding literacy education in their country, but the website also offers newsletters, a calendar of events, and studies as well as quality guidelines and regulations. “Literacy Aotearoa“ also delivers customised literacy trainings at the workplace.
