Adults

In Quebec, illiteracy affects one in six adults, yet remains a little-known problem. Our aim is to take the mystery out of the issue and ensure that it is more clearly understood by the media and the general public.

We have also been offering assistance and referrals with respect to training for Quebec adults since 1990, through our telephone lines.

We also place our expertise and partnerships at the service of organizations in all sectors so as to support the work of literacy workers in the field.
