The Vision

Birmingham as a self-sustaining literate, numerate and IT competent community

 
  • adults and young people are confident and able to participate in community activities because of adequate literacy/numeracy skills
  • all adults in employment have levels of communication/numeracy to do work tasks well, enjoy their work and see opportunities for self-development
  • all employers and employees recognise a shared responsibility for continuing development of communication/number skills of employees and the workplace
  • all those seeking employment have essential communication and number skills for employability
  • all pupils leave school having reached highest achievement levels in literacy/numeracy and confident with IT support for these
  • all pupils have a strong sense of success at all stages of their schooling
  • children, young people and adults see themselves as able to be readers, writers, communicators in a range of ways
  • the city has a strong culture of reinvesting literacy/numeracy skills for the benefit of others
  • literacy and number activities are seen as valuable and as activities to be celebrated
  • parents (and those about to be parents/acting as parents) are confident in own roles/skills
Birmingham Core Skills Development Partnership exists to ensure levels of literacy, numeracy and IT skills in Birmingham increase to exceed national target levels for all client groups.
