Literacy and numeracy skills are absolutely essential in order for young people to reach their potential. The National Literacy Programme and the National Numeracy Programme set out the actions the Welsh Government intends to implement to improve literacy and numeracy standards in Wales. The plans for a statutory national framework and for a system of national testing are integral to both programmes. The LNF has been developed to help achieve our aims that the children of Wales are able to develop excellent literacy and numeracy skills during their time in school.
