Eligible providers
To be eligible for Intensive Literacy and Numeracy funding, providers must:
- demonstrate well-developed community linkages; evidenced through support for programmes from relevant local business, industry and employers, iwi and the wider community
- demonstrate successful delivery to highest need groups as identified by the 2006 Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey, including Māori and Pacific peoples
- demonstrate a high standard of performance against previous commitments (i.e. completion, retention, progressing learners into further formal learning opportunities and employment)*
- demonstrate a commitment to achieving literacy and numeracy outcomes and building performance in literacy and numeracy. This includes having appropriately qualified staff, participating in appropriate professional development and building internal capability to deliver high quality literacy and numeracy provision
- agree to enrol the majority of learners in any approved programmes from the target group identified by the provider and approved by us; and
- undertake a formal assessment process to identify learners’ literacy, language and or numeracy gains against the Learning Progressions as outlined in the Monitoring and Reporting section.
*Organisations receiving TEC funding for the first time will need to identify how they have performed against previous non-TEC related commitments.
