The legacy of READ Educational Trust
READ Educational Trust and its associated entities is one of the first literacy organisations in South Africa. Founded in 1979, READ led literacy advocacy efforts and interventions to address low literacy levels in South Africa, targeting learners and teachers from under-resourced schools. READ’s contribution, footprint, and legacy in the literacy and education sectors are indisputable.
