Adult literacy vital

9/14/2014

ADULT literacy will lead to sustainable development, Papua New Guinea Education Advocacy Network (PEAN) executive office, Pricilla Kare, says.
She said that during the Adult Literacy National Campaign last week. 
The campaign was a weeklong celebration that coincided with the International Literacy Week, which ran from Sept 8-12. 
She said the government only focused on school children and had forgotten that adult literacy, which was from 15-60 years, existed and it impacted the education system. 
Other speakers for the event highlighted that 15-60 years were those who were pushed out from the education system or have not attended a formal education but were accepted to adult literacy programme providers such as the non-government organisations, church-based organisations and other community-based organisations. 
The adult literacy programmes provide a venue for people who are illiterate to improve on their literacy skills, as well as provided life skills courses, she said. 
Kare said through adult literacy programmes, adults could now be able to learn how to communicate and connect well with the society and live a sustainable life. 
She said those age groups had the opportunity and the desire to learn but lacked the support from the government. 
She added that the Department of Education’s aim to improve on their access rate could only be reached if adult literacy was improved. 
She said the Governments Tuition Fee Free policy was applied but when many children were not in school might mean that parents were not educated to implement it. 
“We should look at adult literacy to accommodate that or go beyond the classroom and look at the learning of children who are not in the classrooms,” she said. 
Chairman for PEAN Bernard Paru in his speech stressed that old people had the same right to education.
