This paper examines University-Based Adult Literacy in Ghana with emphasis on experiences of School of Continuing and Distance Education (SCDE), University of Ghana, Legon. Strategies to fight illiteracy and promote personal and national development are designed and implemented by many institutions, including universities. This is because disciplined, efficient and competent labour force is a priceless asset of a country. In the same manner, knowledgeable farmers and fishermen who efficiently adopt innovative, cultural and scientific practices on their farms and fishing expeditions to increase yields and forestall post-harvest losses are assets for Ghana. Industrial workers who can easily fix broken down plants and machines to keep them working day and night to increase productivity at workplaces are workers' Ghanaian economy needs. Educated electorates who cast their votes on the basis of issues are electorates this nation wants. The world now is a global village due largely to innovations in ICT, making lifelong learning and adult literacy very essential in personal and national development. In the light of this, well-planned and appropriately implemented University-Based Adult Literacy Programme as currently being executed by SCDE is a necessary pre-requisite in building the needed human capital for Ghana's development.

<p>The purpose of this study was to find out how parents can contribute to the early reading development of children in a Grade R class. The research was conducted in a low-income area in the Cape Flats. To gain a deeper understanding of the parents’ cultural values and aspirations when interacting with the Home-School Partnership Programme (HSPP) literacy programme, I elected to frame my study within the work of Paulo Freire, who argued that the purpose of education, at the time of his writing, was to make oppressed people passive. Qualitative data were gathered in a case study research design, utilising focus group interviews and semistructured questionnaire tools, as well as footage from a local broadcasting studio. The findings show that the parents, who were previously unable to assist their children with literacy skills at home, were keen to change and to be active partners in their children’s early literacy learning. This research is a descriptive example of how the home, the school and the community can collaborate in a meaningful and sustained way, especially in poverty-stricken areas where unemployment is rife.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>case study, Grade R, literacy, parents; Paulo Freire; poverty; qualitative</p>

Family-Literacy-Programme stellen eine gute Möglichkeit dar, Eltern in Bildungsprozesse einzubeziehen. Am Beispiel des Programms „LIFE – Lesen in Familie erleben“ wird die Wirkung auf elterliche Unterstützung beim Lesenlernen von Erstklässler*innen unter Einbezug von Eltern- und Kinderperspektive untersucht. Sowohl direkt nach dem Programm als auch ein halbes Jahr später wirkte das Programm positiv auf verschiedene Arten der Anschlusskommunikation beim gemeinsamen Lesen.

Inflammatory Bowel

IntroductionNon-government organisations (NGOs) often represent people who are underserved or experiencing vulnerability. Crohn’s & Colitis Australia (CCA) is aware that many Australians with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are not reached by current communication and engagement activities. The aim of the CCA IBD project is to implement the Optimising Health Literacy and Access (Ophelia) process over 3 years to collaboratively codesign ways to improve delivery of information, services and resources for people with IBD and their carers.Methods and analysisHealth literacy and other data for phase 1 will be collected using the Health Literacy Questionnaire, eHealth Literacy Questionnaire, IBD-related questions and qualitative interviews with people with IBD and their carers to ascertain their lived experience. Quantitative data will be analysed using descriptive statistics and cluster analysis. Identified clusters will be combined with qualitative data to develop vignettes (narratives of people’s experiences of living with IBD) for stakeholder workshops to generate ideas for useful, accessible and sustainable solutions for identified health literacy needs. Selection and testing of health literacy actions happens in phase 2 and implementation and evaluation in phase 3 (2021–2023). Outcomes of this project include giving voice to people living with IBD, their carers and frontline healthcare practitioners. Genuine codesign informs the development and implementation of what is needed and wanted to improve access to and availability and quality of information and resources that support people to manage their health. There is potential for other NGOs to use the CCA Ophelia model in other health contexts to improve engagement with and understanding of the needs of the people they serve and to reduce health inequalities and improve health outcomes.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval for Ophelia phase 1 has been obtained from the Human Research Ethics Committee of Swinburne University of Technology (Ref: 20202968–4652) and by the South West Sydney Local Health District Research and Ethics Office for the purposes of questionnaire recruitment at Liverpool Hospital (Ref: 20202968–4652). Dissemination of the study findings will be the national codesign process and ownership development across the CCA community and through the genuine engagement of clinicians and relevant managers across Australia. The model and process will be directly distributed to international IBD associations and to other NGOs. It will also be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal, conference presentations and public reports on the CCA and Swinburne University of Technology website.
