Program partners outside the NT

As well as funding the National Accelerated Literacy Program in the Northern Territory, the Australian Government has also funded Accelerated Literacy partnerships with other State education authorities. 

These education providers are actively testing the methodology and measuring its impact on students’ learning outcomes. They also support the development of the program’s resource materials.
