National Literacy Program

The National Literacy Program works to promote literacy as an essential component of a learning society and to make Canada's social, economic and political life more accessible to people with weak literacy skills. Activities are undertaken in partnership with the provinces, territories, non-governmental organizations and business and labour organizations.

The National Literacy Secretariat is mandated by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada to manage this program.
