Helping Tasmanians improve their literacy and numeracy skills develops their skills and confidence, builds resilience in our communities and grows the state economy.
26TEN communities, where people and organisations work together for a common goal, are making a difference.
Become part of 26TEN’s network of people and organisations who know that adult literacy and numeracy is everyone’s business, and everyone can help.
