Education Alliance for Asia Literacy

Australia’s Education Alliance for Asia Literacy currently comprises 24 national organisations representing education, business and community sectors. 

National Asia Literacy Network

The National Asia Literacy Network (NALN) meetings occur twice a year in February and September and are timed to combine with AEF Advisory Board meetings.

Comprising leading officials from government, Catholic and independent systems, the NALN aims to increase knowledge and understanding of Asia literacy strategies occurring nationally, share key research and opportunities, and exchange and leverage synergies with the AEF’s services and the systems across Australia.

National Action Plan

Formal endorsement of a renewed Call for a National Action Plan for Asia Literacy in Schools  (PDF: 540kb) is being sought from all peak education, business and community organisations. Evidence suggests that while real progress has been made in the past two decades, the rate of progress is slowing and in some cases reversing – particularly with regard to Asian languages education in Australian schools.
