A successful adult literacy program in Wilcannia could be extended to other parts of western New South Wales and possibly interstate.

Wilcannia was the pilot site for the "Yes I Can" adult literacy program which was designed in Cuba.

Wilcannia Local Aboriginal Land Council chief executive Jack Beetson recently attended an education conference in Cuba where he told the founders about the program's success in his town.

He says he is waiting to hear about funding, but he hopes there'll be another intake in Wilcannia in the next month.

"We also have been encouraged by the Federal Government to continue with the pilot in two other communities in Bourke, Coonamble or Goodooga and plus trial this in a community where English is not a first language, maybe somewhere in Central Australia or maybe the Pilbara," Mr Beetson said.

Mr Beetson says people in Cuba were very interested in how the project fared in Australia.

"But if you compare us to say a place like Venezuela: there were 16 people in Wilcannia, while in Venezuela over the last 25 years there's been two and a half million people successfully complete the literacy program using the campaign model," he said.

"So numerically it may not look so great, but people did understand the situation in places like Wilcannia - it was a massive result."
