This report gives an overview of the National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA) Student Development Fund in 2018.

It includes information on:

• how the fund was used;
• feedback from learners about their use of libraries and how to improve literacy, numeracy and digital skills over the next 10 years; and
• the impact of the fund.

The aim of this report is to share feedback from adult literacy and numeracy learners. NALA does this so we and other organisations can respond appropriately to the needs of learners and to continually improve the quality of our work.

This report is for anyone interested or involved in adult literacy and numeracy provision and adult education in general. The NALA Student Fund is financed by SOLAS, the Further Education and Training Authority of Ireland. Adult Literacy is co-funded by the Irish Government and the European Social Fund (ESF) as part of the ESF Programme for Employability, Inclusion and Learning 2014 – 2020.
