The expression, experience and transcendence of low skills in Aotearoa New Zealand

This project is funded by a Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment Endeavour Grant, spanning five years over October 2019-2024. The overarching goal of this project is to provide policy recommendations to improve life-course trajectories and socio-economic outcomes of adults living with low literacy and/or numeracy (L+N) skills. This research is aimed at shaping the ways in which we deal with literacy and numeracy issues in NZ with a focus on effective intervention.
