Lifelong learning  

More than 240 students are now working with Waitakere Adult Literacy to improve their reading and numeracy skills.

From the 2010 Annual Report
The organisation’s 40 tutors provide a free, confidential learning environment where students develop the skills they need – whether it is filling out forms, improving their spelling, preparing for a driving test, writing assignments or putting together a CV.

Established in 1978, Waitakere Adult Literacy is recognised as being one of the first literacy schemes to offer group provision and it has developed literacy and English as second language modules to meet the needs of pre-literate refugees and new migrants.

ASB Community Trust’s learning sector policy is to support projects that facilitate improved educational outcomes by adding value to the sector, with a focus on innovative projects and lifelong learning.
