At a time when the standard of literacy is a matter of national concern, the Education Department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church has collaborated with the Ministry of Education to make a difference.A group of over 70 persons has been mobilised to be trained as literacy educators from tomorrow. The effort is geared toward community development. The 30-hour certificate programme will be conducted in the evenings over a two-week period.The opening ceremony of this certificate training programme, which begins at 16:15 hours at the National Centre for Education Resource Development, Battery Road,Alexander Wennberg Jersey, Kingston will be addressed by Chief Education Officer, Olato Sam.Upon completion of the training, each literacy educator will return to his community to conduct free literacy education classes.This is one of the many initiatives of the Adventist church that seeks to contribute to humanity in a relevant way.
