A decade of making a difference
In 2012, people representing business, communities and all levels of government joined with volunteers, educators, employers, adult learners and others to launch 26TEN. Connected by 26TEN, our collective effort is building adult literacy and numeracy skills around the state and making a difference for all Tasmanians.
Ten years on, in October 2022, we can reflect on the difference that we have made by working together, and strengthen our commitment to helping the many Tasmanians who are or benefit from 26TEN.
- Everyone knows about adult literacy and numeracy
- Everyone is supported to improve their skills and to help others
- Everyone communicates clearly.
We also look to the future because there is still lots to be done and many more people who can build their skills and achieve their goals.
