26Ten

**About us** **26Ten supports Tasmanians to lift adult literacy and numeracy skills** 26Ten unites business, community and government in a statewide effort to raise adult literacy and numeracy levels. Our name comes from the 26 letters of the alphabet, and the ten digits we use for counting. Since 2012, 26Ten has been Australia’s only statewide, comprehensive and long-term response to lifting adult literacy and numeracy. It has tri-partisan political support. **26Ten has a plan** The 26Ten Tasmania Strategy sets a framework for action by the whole State – business, community groups, government, education and training providers, and individuals, who want to live in a State where all adults have the reading, writing, numeracy and communication skills they need for work and life. It has three goals. We want a Tasmania where: 1. Everyone knows about adult literacy 2. Everyone is supported to improve their skills and help others 3. Everyone communicates clearly.
