Literacy Statistics
Statistics Canada defines literacy as: ‘The information processing skills necessary to use printed material commonly encountered at work, at home, and in the community.”
Many people think that literacy is just that, but according to the Literacy Basic Skills Program, literacy also includes numeracy (basic math) and other essential skills that help learners achieve their goals related to further education or training, employment, or independence. For most learners, improving literacy skills leads to increased self-esteem and self-confidence.
