The Manitoba government has introduced legislation aimed at improving and supporting adult literacy and learning programs.
Advanced Education and Training Minister Renée Cable announced Friday that the adult literacy act will set parameters around funding eligibilty for adult literacy and numeracy programs available to Manitobans, and mandates a strategy and reporting on progress.
“This legislation supports adult literacy and numeracy programming that can drastically improve an individual’s quality of life,” Cable said.
