Hundreds of folks filled the Croatian Cultural Centre’s ballroom in Vancouver for the Adult Education Forum on March 5th. The event brought together adult learners, educators, elected officials and the media to voice concerns about provincial government cuts to adult basic education in BC.
The Forum resulted in partners joining with the Public Education Network Society (PENS) to respond to funding cuts and to mobilize adult literacy and basic education stakeholders.

Adult Basic Education is a Basic Right 
The Education Forum on March 5 was an inspiring event. I was especially moved by the words of ABE students. Thanks to the organizers and all who participated.
