Literacy funding boosted for Roblin-Russell-Birtle LEARN program
The Roblin-Russell-Birtle LEARN program will receive an extra 1000 this year as part of Premier Gary Filmon's five year plan to raise literacy support by 100000 annually. Local MLA Len Derkach says literacy boosts workforce strength and attracts companies to the province. The LEARN program now totals 22000 for workplace reading writing math and oral communications in the region with ESL courses available based on local need.
