Location of Literacy Schemes

Eight of the Literacy Schemes are district based and the Travellers’ Scheme operates across the City. The Baseline Data Report – September 1998 prepared by Gamma for Cork City Partnership Ltd, shows a Decile Deprivation Score – 1996 for the City by District Electoral Division.

From maps it can be seen that six of the eight district-based Literacy Schemes are placed in areas experiencing high levels of deprivation.   The City Centre Scheme is the longest established and the largest Scheme and draws learners from throughout the City.    In Bishopstown, the overall level of affluence gives a score, which masks a locality in which considerable deprivation occurs.
