Basic Skills Agency <--- Back to the Previous Page We are the national development organisation for literacy and numeracy in England and Wales. We're an independent organisation, mainly funded by the Government through grants from the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) and the Welsh Assembly Government. We're not-for-profit and a charity. Our patron is Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal. We have a long history of campaigning for priority to be given to raising standards of basic skills -by 'basic skills' we mean the ability to read, write and speak English / Welsh and use mathematics at a level necessary to function and progress at work and in society in general. We play a particularly important role in Wales where we're responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Welsh Assembly Government's 'cradle to grave' National Basic Skills Strategy for Wales.
