The One day stakeholders meeting on the official dissemination of the National Reading Framework (NRF) and It's Implementation Guidelines was aimed at creating awareness to the grassroots on the importance of National Reading Framework 's goals and objectives.

The implementation of the National Reading Framework as a literacy transformative tool will amongst other benefits, provide a common guideline and framework for discussing reading instructions, which can help to reduce confusion and inconsistencies; provide a specific guide on measuring learners reading capabilities to ascertain the needed help to they require for higher education; and empower educators and policy makers to make informed decisions about age specific reading instructions and develop targeted interventions that will address the unique needs of our learners to acquire critical reading skills.
