Adult Opportunities Action Plan
The Adult Opportunities Action Plan is an adult literacy strategy to enable British Columbia's adults to attain and maintain the literacy skills necessary to participate fully in the modern society and global economy.
Overview
Through B.C.’s public post-secondary institutions, the Ministry of Advanced Education offers adult education programs to meet the needs of adults who are not ready to enter directly into an academic or career program at the post-secondary level.
These programs, often referred to as developmental programs, serve:
- Those who have basic literacy needs, did not complete high school, or are upgrading so they can go on to post-secondary training (adult basic education).
- People with permanent disabilities (adult special education).
- Newcomers to British Columbia whose first language is not English (English as a second language).
