About Sasksmart
SaskSmart is a new initiative
designed to provide all Saskatchewan people with the basic literacies
and essential skills they require in English, Mathematics and Science/Technology.
SaskSmart builds on the successes of existing literacy programs
and services in the public, private and volunteer sectors. The SaskSmart
initiative helps provide a strong, coordinated approach to basic
literacy and essential skills for learners throughout life.
SaskSmart will raise the profile of literacy in the province, and
ensure that children, youth and adults understand the relationship
of their literacy levels to their success in work and life. High
levels of literacy benefit each individual and society collectively.
SaskSmart will ensure that individuals have opportunities to acquire
literacies and essential skills that are the key to ensuring economic
and social inclusion and increased civic participation. High levels
of literacy will enhance personal well-being, provide access to
future learning, help to sustain employability, enhance career development,
and increase creativity and productivity.
The government is committed to building a bright future in which
all people have the chance to grow, to develop and to reach their
potential. Literacy development makes it possible for people to
participate successfully in the labour market and to create a better
quality of life for themselves and their families.
