National Literacy and Numeracy Week gives schools the opportunity to get involved in a range of literacy and numeracy activities. The Week aims to recognise locally the achievements of students and the work of teachers, parents and members of the community who support young people to develop stronger literacy and numeracy skills.

Schools across Australia will be encouraged to get involved in both local and national literacy and numeracy activities or events within their school community.

National Literacy and Numeracy Week is an established and popular event on the national education calendar.
