Purpose
The Intensive Literacy and Numeracy fund provides support for the intensive provision of quality literacy, language and numeracy learning opportunities. This provision is delivered in an appropriate structured context with strong community links.
Intensive Literacy and Numeracy provision must:
- consist of 100 hours of direct delivery of literacy and numeracy learning within a 5–20 week period. Organisations may seek funding for more than one 5–20 week module.
- provide quality learning opportunities that:
- be assessed using the Literacy and Numeracy for Adults Assessment Tool for those learners whose skills fall within the Learning Progressions for Adult Literacy and Numeracy
- be delivered at no cost to eligible learners.
We expect strong community links to exist, which will be evidenced through the relationships that organisations can demonstrate between themselves and local business, industry, employers, iwi, community and students.
In 2011, funding will be allocated at a fixed rate of $2,500 (GST excl) for 100 hours of literacy and/or numeracy tuition per learner to be completed within the 5–20 week period.
