National Literacy and Numeracy Week

National Literacy and Numeracy Week is an Australian Government initiative that is run in collaboration with state and territory governments. The Week aims to:

• showcase the hard work school communities are undertaking to improve literacy and numeracy skills
• raise community awareness of the importance of all Australian students developing effective literacy and numeracy skills
• build on national initiatives to improve literacy and numeracy standards among young Australians.

The theme this year is  'Getting the Basics Right'.
