The Literacy Foundation

Literacy Foundation has put in place various resources to help children and adults develop and maintain their abilities to read and learn, to promote their well-being and their full participation in the society.

In Quebec, the situation is more than worrying; in fact, we are placed 10th among Canadian provinces and territories in terms of understanding written texts. 

Nearly 1 in 2 young people from a disadvantaged background do not complete their secondary education.

1 in 5 people, or 19% of the population, experiences major difficulty understanding and using written text.

Our objectives

1. Increase our support for the development and maintenance of the literacy skills of Quebecers

2. Increase the influence of the Literacy Foundation among the general public, ecosystem stakeholders and decision-makers

3. Strengthen the Foundation’s capacity to act
