The Adult Literacy Educator (ALE) Fund supports building an effective literacy and numeracy teaching workforce by increasing the capability of educators and trainers to teach literacy and numeracy skills to adults.  

The Adult Literacy Educator (ALE) Fund reduces learner fees for programmes of study or training that lead to literacy and numeracy educator qualifications at Level 5 on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF).

The Fund is available to tertiary education organisations (TEOs) to provide approved adult literacy and numeracy educator programmes. With this Fund, TEOs are able to provide learners with a study grant to offset the fees they would otherwise charge to the learner when enrolling in an eligible programme.
