Literacy
In Belgium, 1 in 10 adults struggles with reading, writing, and math, especially in cities. Organizations offer courses to support social and job integration.
Organisations involved in literacy issues run courses and are able to issue certificates of attendance and completion. They also help students prepare for exams leading to the CEB diploma, which gives access to secondary education and so also facilitates entry into the job market.
