Broadcasting (Funding) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

The funding of the adult literacy element is of critical importance. On their own, such projects are not commercially viable but they create huge benefit. Research has shown that many people who have difficulties with general literacy are unwilling to address this general problem directly. They find that using a radio or television at home allows them to overcome their difficulties. It helps them develop better literacy skills without the necessity to mention to others the difficulties they have.
