Adult Learning and Literacy

Manitoba Adult Literacy Strategy

The Government of Manitoba is concerned about addressing the literacy challenge in our province. In order to stimulate renewed action, it has identified a Minister responsible for literacy and has passed The Adult Literacy Act, effective January 1, 2009.

The Adult Literacy Act requires the development of a provincial adult literacy strategy to address the needs of Manitobans.
