Abstract
The Department of Adult and Community Education, Maynooth University, warmly welcome
the development of the 10-year Adult Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Literacy (ALND) Strategy
for Ireland to support the development of a sustained, long-term vision to enhance literacy,
numeracy and digital literacy capabilities.
As the only university academic Dept. of Adult and Community Education in Ireland, our work
is informed by the insights and pedagogical practices of the adult and further educators with
whom we work to enhance their professional development. We are also guided by our
learning from the extensive research on adult education we have conducted over the decades
with a range of community, national and international partners.
In this submission we draw on this learning to highlight elements which we feel will create a
learning environment where all adults in Ireland will have the necessary literacy, numeracy
and digital literacy capabilities to fully participate in society. We welcome the inclusive nature
of this strategy in enhancing social, economic, political and cultural equality for all peoples as
well as critically reflecting on the opportunities and challenges inherent in it.
