MEC Grant to brief media on literacy and numeracy campaign
8 February 2010
In November 2009, MEC Donald Grant launched the Western Cape’s strategic plan for education for the period 2010 to 2019. One of the primary aims of this plan will be to improve the reading, writing and calculating abilities of learners in the province.
For this reason, the Western Cape Education Department has kicked off the year with a Literacy and Numeracy campaign to support schools in their efforts build the literacy and numeracy skills of children in primary school.
The Literacy and Numeracy campaign has been communicated through a number of different channels. These include billboards, mall displays, radio advertisements, leaflets, and advertising in trains and taxi’s.
Tomorrow, MEC Donald Grant will be visiting one of the seventeen key commuter sites where we have erected billboards and will be briefing media on the overall campaign.
