Policy on LESLLA learners in Flanders

"As an advisor to the Flemish Minister for Education I am involved in all aspects of lifelong learning; therefore, second language acquisition in low-educated non-native speakers of Dutch is only one of the many issues I advise on.

In the past six to seven years the interest in the target group of low-educated non-native speakers of Dutch and illiterates has rapidly increased"
