Improving adult literacy and numeracy in Tasmania

Too many Tasmanians lack the literacy and numeracy skills they need for life and work. 26TEN is here to change that.

26TEN is for people, businesses, community groups, governments who want to live in a state where all adults have the reading, writing, numeracy and communication skills they need.

26TEN Week in Oct 2023

Our theme: Making numbers work for you

Did you know that about 60 per cent of Tasmanian adults struggle with everyday maths?

That's why we are focusing on numeracy this 26TEN Week and invite you to join us. Visit What's Happening for more.
