765 million adults still cannot read and write. This creates huge numbers of barriers for people. #Literacy is essential for refugees and migrants in rebuilding their lives in the UK and our ESOL team have been exploring this as part of our new article. And we will continue to support and empower people to have equal access and break down these barriers by providing ESOL classes across our centres. https://lnkd.in/en_TCtRD #InternationalLiteracyDay
