Better literacy and numeracy means a better Tasmania for all.
Good literacy and numeracy skills improve a person’s quality of life. They make it more likely for someone to have a job, earn a good income, be in good health and be involved with family and community. The children of parents who have the skills and confidence to read to them and help them learn will do better in school. Communities with higher literacy levels are more resilient and have higher per capita income. Businesses with more literate workforces are more productive.
