NLNW promotes the importance of literacy and numeracy as fundamental life skills and highlights effective literacy and numeracy practices on a national scale.
The week gives schools the opportunity to get involved in a range of activities and to recognise locally the achievements of students and the work of teachers, parents and members of the community who support young people to develop stronger literacy and numeracy skills.

Major features of consortium activity have been the development of a ‘visible culture’ of research in Australian adult literacy and numeracy – including research conversations, increased documentation of research projects, sponsoring practitioner researchers to investigate their own practice, and collaboration with state literacy an numeracy councils to foster debate about the links between research policy and provision.

This suite of overviews provides a comprehensive summary of each of NCVER's managed adult literacy and numeracy research projects funded in 2002, 2003 and 2004 and subsequently published in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
