The Manitoba government is providing more than 20 million dollars in operating grants toward Manitoba Adult Learning Centres and Adult Literacy Programs including a one-time COVID-19 relief grant. The Adult Learning Centres program offers tuition-free high school credits and upgrading courses, which may lead to a Manitoba high school diploma. In 2021-22, 30 agencies will receive more than 17 million dollars in operating grants.  The Manitoba Adult Literacy Program funds organizations to deliver programming that addresses the literacy needs of adult Manitobans. This year 29 agencies will receive more than 2.5 million dollars in operating grants including a one-time COVID-19 relief grant totalling just over 50 thousand dollars to support additional operating or capital expenditures that may have occurred related to COVID-19 program pressures.
