Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

National Adult Literary Agency: Discussion

1:00 pm

Ms Inez Bailey:

We provide the online learning programme, for a start. Most of our resources go towards supporting ETB adult literacy services staff. We do most of the CPD support for the service. We are also doing most of the awareness-raising. For example, we are bringing in An Post as a key partner. It is paying for the advertisements because we do not have enough money to pay for them. Much of our work involves informing the development of the approach to literacy taken by SOLAS.
