Adult literacy up. 5. A transition TEC will be set up by the end of July. Legislation will be introduced towards the end of this year. PTEs have been waiting for it for years and funding for Youth Training has finally gone up. This will fund additional places.
Adult literacy is up too with a range of pilots being initiated.
This will include quality standards, professional development, better resources and, of course, extra places for students. Another 4000 places will be funded for low-income people and beneficiaries for free career guidance. This is on top of the existing 1000 places. The CareerPoint 0800 line will continue. There will also be pilot Tertiary Education Learning and Assessment Centres designed for people at risk of educational failure.
